Diagnostic Utility On Cd; Downloading The Latest Diagnostic Utility - HP Xw6600 - Workstation - 2 GB RAM Technical Reference Manual

The Insight Diagnostics Test feature provides the capability to test functionality of all the major hardware
components in the system. The Test feature is designed with flexibility to enable you to customize test
selections by specifying different modes and types of testing.
A Quick Test provides a predetermined script where a sample of each hardware component is tested
and requires no user intervention.
A Complete Test provides a predetermined script during which each hardware component is fully tested.
You can select Interactive or Unattended tests. This changes the devices tested during the Complete
Test. There are more tests available in the interactive mode, but these require user intervention.
A Custom Test provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test mode
enables you to specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. You can select tests
that do not require any user interaction through the Interactive and Unattended tests modes.
