Enhanced Pre-Boot System Assessment
(ePSA) diagnostics
The ePSA diagnostics (also known as system diagnostics) performs a complete
check of your hardware. The ePSA is embedded with the BIOS and is launched
by the BIOS internally. The embedded system diagnostics provides a set of
options for particular devices or device groups allowing you to:
•
Run tests automatically or in an interactive mode
•
Repeat tests
•
Display or save test results
•
Run thorough tests to introduce additional test options to provide extra
information about the failed device(s)
•
View status messages that inform you if tests are completed successfully
•
View error messages that inform you of problems encountered during testing
CAUTION: Use the system diagnostics to test only your computer.
Using this program with other computers may cause invalid results or
error messages.
NOTE: Some tests for specific devices require user interaction.
Always ensure that you are present at the computer terminal when
the diagnostic tests are performed.
