The U-Boot diagnostic test in -Normal mode automatically runs each time you start your server. However, if you would like to run the U-Boot diagnostic test in -Quick or -Extended mode, you must select these modes to run at startup. For further details about how to select one of the three U-Boot diagnostic modes to run at startup, see the following procedure.
All U-Boot diagnostic tests are required to run from a serial connection. You must have either a hyper terminal or network serial console connected to the server.
For information about how to connect a local serial console to the serial port on the server, refer to the installation guide for your server. For information about how to establish a network serial connection to the SP, see the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 User’s Guide.
