Startup And Exit Of System Diagnostics - NEC Express5800 User Manual

Startup and Exit of System Diagnostics

There are two ways to diagnose the server: to use the local console (keyboard) of the server itself,
and to use the management PC via serial port (remote console).
IMPORTANT: Two methods of LAN and the serial port are mentioned
in "MAINTENANCE TOOLS" of Chapter 8 "Troubleshooting" in the
way of communicating in remote console.
Use the serial port to execute System Diagnostics with remote console.
The LAN connection is not for System Diagnostics.
Procedures to start the diagnostics program are as follows:
1.
Shutdown the OS, and power off the server. Then, unplug the power cord.
2.
Disconnect all the LAN cables from the server.
3.
Plug the power cord and power on the server.
4.
Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD to start the system.
