Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Using the System Diagnostic Programs

Starting the Diagnostic Programs

To start the diagnostic programs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Power up the device and watch the console.

Note To run the diagnostic programs, you must start the device with the highest level password that is set. That is, if an administrator password is set, you must enter the administrator password, not the power-up password, to run the diagnostic programs.

Step 2 Press F2 when this message appears:

F2 for Diagnostics

Step 3 Enter the appropriate password and then press Enter.

Step 4 From the top of the window, choose either Extended or Basic.

Step 5 When the Diagnostic Programs window appears, choose the test that you want to run from the list that appears. Follow the instructions in the window:

Press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain help information. You also can press F1 from within a help window to obtain online documentation from which you can choose different categories. To exit from the help information and return to your last location, press Esc.

If the device stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the device and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, the component that was being tested when the device stopped needs to be replaced.

If you run the diagnostic programs with either no mouse or a USB mouse attached to your device, you will not be able to navigate between test categories using the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions provided by mouse-selectable buttons are also available using the function keys.

Note Cisco ACNS software does not support USB peripheral devices.
