Running System Verification
Before you run system verification, the diagnostics must have been loaded. For information about how to

When the Diagnostic Operating Instructions display, do the following to run system verification:
1. Press Enter.
2. If the terminal type is requested, you must use the Initialize Terminal option on the Function Selection
menu to initialize the operating system before you can continue with the diagnostics.
3. Select the System Verification option on the Diagnostic Mode Selection menu.
4. To run a general checkout of all installed resources, select the All Resource option on the Diagnostic
Selection menu. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the checkout procedure.
To check one particular resource, select that resource on the Diagnostic Selection menu.
The checkout program ends with either of the following results:
v The Testing Complete screen displays a message stating No trouble was found.
v The A Problem Was Detected On (Time Stamp) menu displays, with either a service request number
(SRN) or an error code. Make a note of any codes displayed on the display or operator panel.

terminal).
2. If you changed any attributes on your terminal to run the diagnostics, change the settings back to
normal.
3. This completes the system verification.
If the server passed all the diagnostic tests, the verification process is complete and your server is ready
to use.
If you received an error code, record the code and go to the Eserver pSeries 670 Service Guide.
