Step 4
This step attempts to load the standalone diagnostics.
1. Reboot the partition.
Note: Standalone diagnostics may be run with a CD-ROM or from a NIM server. If
run from CD-ROM, the CD-ROM drive must be made available to the
partition upon which you want to run standalone diagnostics. After this is
done, go to step 2 on page 150. If running from NIM, the NIM server must be
set up to allow a diagnostic boot from that partition (both NIM server and
client partition must have network adapters). For more information, see
Chapter 5, “Using the Online and Standalone Diagnostics” on page 83.
2. Insert the diagnostic CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. If the keyboard POST indicator displays, press the numeric 5 key on the keyboard
to indicate that diagnostics are to be loaded from CD-ROM.
4. Type the requested passwords.
5. Follow the instructions to select a console.
6. Wait until the diagnostics load or the system appears to stop.
