DiagTools

DiagTools for HP NetServers is a set of off-line diagnostic tests, including tests
for system and processor components, memory and storage elements, ports, and
input/output devices. DiagTools is supplied with NetServer. Located on the HP
NetServer Navigator, the user prepares DiagTools software for use by
transferring it to diskette. Then the DiagTools diskette is used to restart the
server. A basic suite of tools checks key NetServer components, and a menu of
advanced tests is available for in-depth testing.
DiagTools has the capability to test the following components:
system board
memory modules
flexible disks
serial ports
video monitor
DiagTools is an off-line diagnostic test series. Off-line diagnostics do not use the
main operating system (OS) of the HP NetServer. The alternate DiagTools OS
has far fewer features than the full-fledged OS. Thus, its capabilities are limited
to a set of basic tests and a series of advanced tests. In addition, DiagTools does
not use any tests which might write over and destroy user data. Tests which
require user inputs or decisions are left to the advanced series.
You can use DiagTools to support trouble-shooting to carry out the tasks listed
below:
display a high-level inventory of the system under test
save and print a detailed inventory of hardware components

Troubleshooting
processors
hard disk packs
keyboards
parallel ports
