HP Insight Diagnostics provides a comprehensive suite of offline system and component tests, providing in-depth testing of critical hardware components for devices such as processors, memory, and hard drives. During offline testing, the user-installed OS is not running. Therefore, software information from the system is not reported. Insight Diagnostics (Offline Edition) runs when the computer is started with one of the following products:

Intelligent Provisioning on HP ProLiant servers

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP)

Insight Diagnostics simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating hardware issues. System availability is maintained through the following key features:

Surveying the current configuration, with various levels and categories

Testing and diagnosing apparent hardware failures

Documenting system configurations for upgrade planning, standardization, inventory tracking, disaster recovery, and maintenance

Sending configuration information to another location for more in-depth analysis

Managing the Integrated Management Log (IML)

In addition to system management tools, service tools can resolve system problems quickly. To streamline the service process and resolve problems quickly, you must have the right information available at the time that a service call is placed. This combination of features simplifies the service process and minimizes downtime.

Clicking Exit Diagnostics exits the Insight Diagnostics application and returns to Intelligent Provisioning. Insight Diagnostics is also available online as a web-based application. For more information, see the HP Insight Diagnostics User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/ go/intelligentprovisioning/docs).

Quick Configs

Use this feature to set a power management policy through Intelligent Provisioning without having to configure individual settings through the RBSU or UEFI System Utilities.
