Important: Whenever possible before beginning troubleshooting, ensure the latest software 
and firmware updates have been applied.

Firmware is the name given to software that is written into memory circuits such as flash 
memory, that will hold the software code indefinitely, even when power is removed from the 
hardware. Firmware on Intel Mac computers is designed to be updated if necessary by running 
the Mac OS X Software Update check (available in the Apple menu) while the computer is 
connected to the Internet. For more information about firmware updates, refer to: 

Run diagnostics to determine if any of the modules are malfunctioning.

•  Mac mini Server (Mid 2010): Apple Server Diagnostics: 3X107
