 When executing the system diagnostics, make sure to

disconnect the LAN cable. Executing the system diagnostics with the
LAN cable connected, the network may be influenced.

 On checking the hard disk drive, no data is written into the

disk.

There are two ways to diagnose the modular server: to use the local console (SUV cable) of the
modular 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 "MAINTENANCE TOOLS" 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 are as follows:

Shutdown the system, and power off the modular server.

Power off the switch kit to which the target modular server is connected, or disable the
LAN port on the switch kit to disconnect the target modular server from the system.

Power on the modular server.

Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER DVD to start the system.

Select [Tool menu (Normal mode)] when local console of the modular server is used for,
or select [Tool menu (Redirection mode)] when remote console is used for.

 If the system displays the [Language selection] menu, select

[English].
