When the server boots, a series of tests are displayed on the screen. The number of tests displayed depends on the configuration of the server. The following are the kinds of errors a user might get with the HP Netserver.
CD-ROM drives video monitor DiagTools is an off-line diagnostic. Off-line diagnostics do not use the main operating system (OS) of the HP Netserver. The alternate DiagTools OS has far fewer features than the full-fledged OS. Thus, its capabilities are limited to a set of basic tests and a series of advanced tests. In addition, DiagTools does not use any tests, which might write over and thus destroy user data.
Netservers or the network Introduction If you are having problems installing your HP Netserver, there are a number of different tools available for troubleshooting, including the information provided in the following topics in this chapter.
The following sections contain general procedures to help you locate installation problems. If you need assistance, HP recommends contacting your reseller first. If you need to get assistance from Hewlett- Packard, refer to Warranty and Support document provided with the Netserver.
