U-Boot Diagnostic Test Modes–Normal, Quick, and Extended

U-Boot offers three diagnostic modes of operation: -Normal, -Quick, and -Extended. -Normal mode diagnostic tests are run by default each time the server starts up. Other modes of operations (-Quick or -Extended) must be selected to run at startup.

For details about which U-Boot diagnostic tests are run for each mode, see the following table. For details about how to select one of the three U-Boot modes to run at system startup, see How to Select a U-Boot Diagnostic Mode to Run at Startup.


Note - If any of the U-Boot diagnostic tests fail during startup, the server SP will not start. See Reporting Diagnostic Failures at System Startup for additional details.

1For rackmount servers, the I2C tests check the connectivity to all I2C devices installed in the chassis. For Oracle's Sun Blade 6000 or 6048 Chassis Modular Systems, the I2C tests check only the connectivity to I2C devices installed on an individual server module.
