Running System Diagnostics

You can validate the integrity of your system through the Run Diagnostics command. This command checks the main board functional sub-systems (memory, communications, switch control and the video channels) for each system controller. When you select the Run Diagnostics option, you will receive a warning indicating that all users (remote and local) will be disconnected. Click OK to confirm and begin the test.

The Diagnostics dialog box displays. The top section of the dialog box displays the hardware tests. The bottom portion divides the tested SIPs into three categories: On-line, Offline or Suspect.
