When to Use the System Diagnostics
If a major component or device in the blade does not operate properly,
component failure may be indicated. As long as the processor and the blade's
input/output devices (monitor, keyboard, and diskette drive) are functioning,
you can use the system diagnostics to help identify the problem.
Running the System Diagnostics
The system diagnostics can be run from either LifeCycle Controller GUI or
utility partition on your hard drive or a USB flash drive.
NOTE: Use the system diagnostics to test only your blade. Using this program with
other blades may cause invalid results or error messages. In addition, use only the
program that came with your blade (or an updated version of that program).
Running the Embedded System Diagnostics
The embedded system diagnostics program is run from the LifeCycle
Controller screen.
CAUTION: Use the embedded system diagnostics to test only your system. Using
this program with other systems may cause invalid results or error messages.
NOTE: LifeCycle Controller is supported only on M610, M610x, M710, M710HD, and
M910 systems.
