Startup and Exit of System Diagnostics

There are two ways to diagnose the CPU blade: use the local console (keyboard) connected to the
Blade Enclosure or use the management PC via serial port (remote console).
IMPORTANT: The LAN and serial port connections of the remote
console are mentioned in "MAINTENANCE TOOLS" of Chapter 8
"Troubleshooting."
Use the serial port to run System Diagnostics with the remote console.
The LAN connection is not for System Diagnostics.
The following procedure describes how to start the system diagnostics:
1.
Shutdown the operating system and power off the CPU blade.
2.
Disconnect the CPU blade from the network by powering off the Switch kit to which it is
connected or by disabling the LAN port of the Switch kit.
3.

4.
Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD to boot the system.

Select [Tool menu (Normal mode)] when using the local console of the CPU. Select [Tool
menu (Redirection mode)] when using the remote console.
