Checking Field Replaceable Units (FRU) with the Diagnostic Wizard

The Diagnostic Wizard is a suite of test utilities that check the functionality of Field Replaceable Units (FRU). First, the wizard displays a list of test modules to choose from. After completing the tests, the selected test modules return either a PASS or FAIL status on tested components. To run the Diagnostic Wizard, run it from the Service Partition installed on the system. For instructions on setting up the service partition, see the Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control.
