diagnostic utility loads after a short delay.
Hard Drive Diagnostic Utility
The hard drive is tested first upon entry into the BIOS Diagnostic Utilities. A quick test is
performed initially, and a more comprehensive test is performed afterwards. The user may abort
and skip any test by pressing the <Esc> key at any time during that test. After both tests have
finished or been skipped, the user is presented with the testing results. If both tests have
succeeded or been skipped, Press any key to continue is displayed. In order to continue with
testing, user interaction is required to press a key on the keyboard.
Note If either hard drive test fails, the controller is not permitted to boot, and the
user is instructed to turn off the controller and replace the hard drive.
Memory Diagnostic Utility
The memory diagnostic utility is started immediately after the user presses a key to exit the hard
drive diagnostic utility. The user may abort and skip the memory test by pressing the <Esc> key
at any time during this test. After the memory utility has finished or been skipped, the user is
presented with the testing result. If the memory test was successful or skipped, Press any key
to continue is displayed. In order to continue to boot the controller, user interaction is required
to press a key on the keyboard.
Note If the memory test fails, the controller is not permitted to boot, and the user is
instructed to turn off the controller and replace the memory.
