Diagnostic Software - Digital Equipment Digital Server 3220 Series System Reference Manual

Diagnostic Software

Diagnostic software is shipped with every DIGITAL Server on the Quick Launch CD-
ROM. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities for identifying
and correcting problems with the server. The diagnostic software is used to verify
proper hardware installation and isolate intermittent problems that are not detected by
the Power-On Self Test (POST).
The diagnostic program is a stand-alone MS-DOS package that is run from diskettes
or from the DOS partition on the server's hard disk drive.
The diagnostic software includes:
•
AMIDiag base diagnostic (processors, memory, and main logic board
components tests) from American Megatrends, Inc.
•
DIGITAL vendor extended tests (SCSI, network, IDE, and RAID)
•
Extensive on-line help and the AMIDiag User's Guide
Refer to Chapter 2, "Server Software and Utilities" for information on creating
diagnostic diskettes from the Quick Launch CD-ROM.
For additional information on "When to Use the Diagnostics" and "Running the
Diagnostics", refer to Chapter 13. Also refer to the AMIDiag User's Guide,
located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM and to the README.TXT file on the
diagnostics diskettes.
