Server diagnostics are contained in the disk operating system-based (DOS-based) Pc-Check utility. This utility can be accessed from ILOM if your server contains an SP, or the utility can be accessed and executed from your server Tools and Drivers CD/DVD. Pc-Check tests all motherboard components (CPU, memory, and I/O), ports, and slots. When enabled, this utility runs at host power-on. The Pc-Check utility is disabled by default in ILOM.
Note - When running the Pc-Check utility on servers that do not have an SP, transfer the Pc-Check utility from the Tools and Drives CD/DVD to the server’s universal serial bus (USB) flash drive and run the utility from the flash drive.
If you encounter any hardware-related error message (such as memory errors or hard disk errors) on your server, run one of the following:
Advanced Diagnostics Test—A specific hardware component test
Immediate Burn-in Test—A server diagnostic test script
