Note: After you exit from the stand-alone memory diagnostic environment, you must restart the
server to access the stand-alone memory diagnostic environment again.
5. Select gui to display the graphical user interface, or select cmd to display the DSA interactive menu.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to select the diagnostic test to run.
If the diagnostic programs do not detect any hardware errors but the problem remains during normal
server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, see the
information that comes with your software.
A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the
first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic
programs.
Exception: If multiple error codes or LEDs indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a
microprocessor or in a microprocessor socket. See "Microprocessor problems" on page 55 for information
about diagnosing microprocessor problems.
If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try to run the diagnostic
programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested when the server
stopped.
For a list of diagnostic messages, see Chapter 4, "Diagnostics," on page 17.
