ONIE diagnostics
This chapter describes system diagnostics and troubleshooting. After running the diagnostic tools, your system displays pass or fail test
results. If all tests pass, the diagnostic tools exit normally. If a test fails, each diagnostic tool oers a dierent result.
NOTE: The troubleshooting package includes a README le that lists the tools version and the overall troubleshooting package
version. For more information, refer to this README le.
NOTE: To download the Release Notes, go to http://www.dell.com/support.
This system uses the following troubleshooting tools:
• Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostic — Automatically runs during the system startup at the BIOS or U-boot level. This tool tests
for catastrophic hardware failures that prevent booting the system. The error code is saved in CMOS for the next boot. There is no
physical alarm indication.
• Extended diagnostic application (EDA) — Tests the hardware for system failures. This is an on-demand diagnostic tool. EDA veries
platform-specic hardware. There are options to perform diagnostics from a Quick Test to a thorough Intrusive test. If a test fails, you
can stop or continue boot-up. If you select the
halt-on failure option, EDA testing does not continue. If you do not select the
halt-on failure option, EDA testing continues. Test results are saved in a user-dened storage area. There is no physical alarm
indication.
NOTE
: To test your hardware, Dell EMC strongly recommends using the EDA tool.
NOTE: EDA runs in the ONIE environment, not in the networking operating system. You must be at the ONIE prompt to run EDA.
