Chapter 8 Diagnostics And Utilities - Compaq AlphaServer GS60E Installation Manual

After the system passes self-test, you must verify proper system operation.
First verify the presence of UltraSCSI devices; then verify the boot device load
path. After the path is verified, you can boot the operating system and use
operating system-based test programs (such as VET) to complete system
verification.
The system is tested automatically during power-up; no off-line loadable
diagnostics are required or provided. The Loadable Firmware Update (LFU)
Utility is currently the only supported off-line loadable program. It is used to
update firmware on any module residing on the system that has updatable
firmware.
