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 start-up. For further details on how to select one of the three U-Boot diagnostic modes to run at start-up, see To Select a U-Boot Diagnostic Mode to Run at Start-Up
All U-Boot diagnostic tests are required to run from a serial connection. You must have either a hyper terminal or a local 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 (ILOM) 3.0 Daily Management – Concepts Guide.
For details, see either the installation guide for your server or the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Daily Management – Concepts Guide.
The Power/OK LED blinks slowly as U-Boot executes. The U-Boot output is sent directly to the server serial port.
For details on how to power on or restart your server, see the installation guide for your server.

If there is a diagnostic failure, the SP will not start. See Reporting of Diagnostic Failures at Server Start-Up for further details.
