The
diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major
components of the HMC. If you are not sure whether a problem is
caused by the hardware or the software, running the diagnostic programs
will let you know whether the hardware is working correctly.
As you run the diagnostic programs, text messages
and error codes are displayed on the screen and are saved in the
test log.
Before running
the diagnostic programs, you should be aware of the following: machine
type and model, configuration of your HMC, and BIOS level.
For the 7042-CR4
HMC, the diagnostic programs are preloaded on the system. For the
7042-C06 HMC, the diagnostic programs are found on a CD.
Refer to the
Service Guide for Deskside and Rack-mounted Consoles
manual for information about running the diagnostic programs; viewing
the resulting diagnostic text messages, diagnostic error codes,
and test log; and reviewing the suggested action to correct the
problem.
