The system diagnostics can be run from the utility partition or from a diskette, but not
from the
Dell Server Assistant
CD. From the Utility Partition menu, select Run System
Utilities and then select Run System Diagnostics. To run the diagnostics from a dis-
kette, select Create Diagnostics Diskette from the Utility Partition menu.
Before running the diagnostics, you should make a blank diskette and insert it in the
diskette drive so the diagnostics programs can record critical messages and informa-
tion as necessary. Use the Create Blank Formatted Diskette option to create a
formatted diskette. The system hardware diagnostics are described in Chapter 5,
“Running the System Diagnostics,” of the
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
.

dure to install the video drivers for Windows NT Server 4.0. The Novell NetWare
