to run the standalone diagnostics in service mode from the boot hard disk, do the following:

    online diagnostics are not available when the operating system is linux.

    1. stop all programs including the operating system (get help if needed).

    2. remove all tapes, diskettes, and cd-rom discs.

    3. turn off the system unit power.

    4. turn on the system unit power and immediately insert the diagnostic cd-rom into the cd-rom drive.

    5. after the keyboard post indicator displays on the firmware console and before the last post indicator (speaker) displays, press the numeric 5 key on either the directly attached keyboard or the ascii terminal to indicate that a service mode boot should be initiated using the default service mode boot list.

    6. enter any requested password.

    if you are unable to load the diagnostics to the point when the diagnostic operating instructions display, call your support center for assistance.
