Starting and Ending the 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 Chapter 6 "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" 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 is as follows:
1. Shutdown the OS, and turn off the server. Then, unplug the power cord.
2. Disconnect all the LAN cables from the server.
3. Plug the power cord and turn on the server.
4. Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to reboot the server.
See Chapter 6 "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" for details.
The following menu appears when started the server using the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
