Starting the diagnostic programs

You can press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to
obtain Help information. You also can press F1 from within a
help screen to obtain online documentation from which you
can select different categories. To exit Help and return to
where you left off, press Esc.
To start the diagnostic programs:
1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.
Note: To run the diagnostic programs, you must start
the server with the highest level password that is
set. That is, if an administrator password is set,
you must enter the administrator password, not
the power-on password, to run the diagnostic
programs.
2. When the message F2 for Diagnostics appears,
press F2.
3. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter.
4. Select either Extended or Basic from the top of the
screen.
5. When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select
the test you want to run from the list that appears; then,
follow the instructions on the screen.
Notes:
a. If the server stops during testing and you cannot
continue, restart the server and try running the
diagnostic programs again.
b. The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests
assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached
to the server.
c. If you run the diagnostic programs with no mouse
attached to the server, you will not be able to navi-
gate between test categories using the Next Cat
and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions pro-
vided by mouse-selectable buttons are also avail-
able using the function keys.

test discovers an error.
