Overview
7-1-1 Purpose of this Chapter
This section describes how to setup and run the tools and software that help maintain image quality and 
system operation. Very basic host, system and board level diagnostics are run whenever power is 
applied. Some Service Tools may be run at the application level. 
NOTE: Diagnostics must be run from start-up.
NOTE: After Diagnostics are performed/run, the system must be rebooted. If not done, this could cause 
subsequent false failures due to the machine being left in an unknown state.
