Note - The boot process can take several minutes, and might include an extra power cycle.

Note - To check the history of the test using ILOM Event logs, select ILOM Administration → Logs → Event → Filter → Custom Filter → Diags.

To safely disrupt the diagnostic tests, click Stop Diagnostics.

Caution - If there is an unexpected AC power cycle and a test is in progress, configure Diagnostics mode again starting from Step 1. Internal variables could be corrupted and setting a new mode or resetting the same mode fixes any potential issue.

To finish the Diagnostics activities, select Disabled.
