HP Z1 Maintenance And Service Guide

Creating and using a bootable USB key
This section describes how to use a USB key to access the HP Vision Diagnostics.
NOTE: Using a USB key is the most convenient method to access the HP Vision Diagnostics. It is
faster than using a CD, and it accommodates both Memory and Vision diagnostics.
The HP Memory Test is a comprehensive memory diagnostic utility that is run as a stand-alone
application, outside of HP Vision Diagnostics. If the computer is booted from a CD, a separate boot CD
will be required to use the memory diagnostic.
1. In the C:\VisionDiagnostics\ directory, double-click on VisionDiagUSB.exe. A setup menu
appears.
2. Follow the setup prompts to create a bootable ISO image of the diagnostic utilities on a USB key.
3. Turn off the computer and restart it with the USB key installed. The computer will boot to the USB
key and initiate the HP Vision Diagnostics utility.
4. Follow the HP Vision Diagnostic prompts to troubleshoot the computer.
Creating and using a bootable DVD
This section describes how to use a DVD to access the HP Vision Diagnostics.
1. In the C:\VisionDiagnostics\ directory, double-click on the VisionDiagISO.exe file. A setup menu
appears.
2. Follow the setup prompts to create a bootable ISO image of the diagnostic utilities on a DVD.
3. Enable the computer to boot from DVD.
4. Turn off the computer and restart it with the DVD installed in the optical drive. The computer will
boot to the DVD and initiate the HP Vision Diagnostics utility.
5. Follow the HP Vision Diagnostic prompts to troubleshoot the computer.
