16 Using SR460AC4 Platform Diagnostics

The information in this chapter describes how to run and use the Platform Diagnostics application.

1. QUICK START

Use the following steps to quickly setup and run tests. For more detailed information on any of the steps,
please refer to the remainder of this guide.
1. Boot to the EFI shell.
2. Create a directory "efi\intel\service\diagnostics" on the target such as a hard drive.
3. Copy the distributed FieldDiags binary file (fielddiags.efi) to the root directory of the target.
4. Run the following command using the distributed FieldDiags binary file (fielddiags.efi):
fielddiags -d \efi\Intel\service\diagnostics
(it will unpack and install the FieldDiags software).
5. Be sure your working directory is on the same hard drive that contains the test software, type in the
following command and press the <Enter> key to load and run the tests:
\efi\intel\service\diagnostics\fielddiags
Entering this command causes the tests to run regardless of your current working directory. You can
also type a relative pathname that is based on your current working directory to execute the tests.
6. Enable the set of tests you want to run by using the arrow keys to highlight a test, and then press the
<Space> key to enable it.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight "Run Quick Test" and then press the <Enter> key. As asterisk character
(*) appears to the left of the test that is running.
8. Refer to the "Pass" and "Fail" columns to interpret the test results.
In addition to running tests, you can display system configuration information or the current test log. To do
either, highlight the appropriate option and then press the <Enter> key.

2. INVOKING THE APPLICATION

The field diagnostics test Command-line syntax is as follows:
[path\]FIELDDIAGS [LOG [path]logfile[.log]] [CFG
[path]configfile[.cfg]]
In the above syntax, items enclosed within square brackets are optional, and items that appear in upper-case
characters must be typed exactly as shown. You must supply values for items shown in lower-case characters
as follows:
path Any valid absolute or relative pathname.
logfile The name of the log file generated during this diagnostic test session. By default, the software
creates a log file named "FIELDDIAGS.LOG" and keeps it in
"\EFI\INTEL\SERVICE\DIAGNOSTICS." If you use the LOG command-line option, you can
name and place the log file. If you do not supply a filename extension, ".LOG" is used.
configfile The name of the configuration file used to populate the interface with tests. By default, the
software uses the file named
"\EFI\INTEL\SERVICE\DIAGNOSTICS\FIELDDIAGS\FIELDDIAGS.CFG."
If you use the CFG command-line option, you can use a custom configuration file to populate
the diagnostic test interface with tests. If you do not use a filename extension, ".CFG" is used.
