Starting Configuration Detection

3. When the Configuration Detection tests are completed, the results appear in a window on the left
side of the screen. View the detected configuration by scrolling through the list of components that
were found by DiagTools. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Verify that DiagTools correctly detected all processors and memory on the system board. Also verify
DiagTools correctly detected all SCSI devices. If all processors, memory, and SCSI devices were
detected, go to the next step, "Running the Basic Tests." If not, save and print a Support Ticket.
Then use the section at the end of this chapter entitled "Troubleshooting When Devices are not
Detected" to locate the problem.
NOTE For information about the Support Ticket, see "Reviewing Results: The Support Ticket."

1. When you are ready to run the Basic System Tests, press the F2 function key (Test) to go to Basic
