Running diagnostic tests
Running all diagnostic tests

When to run the all test

To identify a hardware problem as quickly as possible, you run diagnostics on all components using the all diagnostic. You should select this option only after a normal system shutdown, a new card is installed, or there is no chance to preserve customer data after a system crash.

Do not use the all option for the following circumstances:

  • Immediately after a system crash
  • If log data is stored

Using the all option

To run diagnostics on all components, complete the following step.

Step Action
1

In the Diagnostic Monitor, after the Enter Diag, Command, or Option prompt, enter the following command:

all
Results

As each test starts, its name and the test result appears on the console.

By default, diagnostic testing stops when an error is encountered. The error is displayed on the screen, so you can identify the problem. See Error Messages, for more information about error messages.

Note
You can set the all option to run diagnostic testing without stopping when an error is detected. Use the stop no option from the Diagnostic Monitor. See Stop option for more information about setting this option.
