Owner's Manual
Dell Online Diagnostics stores automatically at the
X:\dell\diagnostics\log directory, where 'X' is the system drive.
* In Windows operating systems, when you run diagnostic tests on multiple
Broadcom Network Interface Controllers (NICs) at the same time, some tests
may fail. Also, a yellow bang may be noted in Device Manager for some NICs.
Run one diagnostic test on one NIC at a time for accurate results.
* Broadcom NIC Tests are available even if hardware is disabled from
Windows Device Manager. If BASP Drivers are not installed, test will
still be available but the test will fail.
* Intel NIC Tests are available even if hardware is disabled from
Windows Device Manager.
* The SATA CD-DVD attached to the NVIDIA SATA controller is displayed under
"System" in the tree view for operating systems released prior to
Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
* NIC Communication Test may fail if IPv6 is enabled.

ISSUES FOR ENTERPRISE LINUX and ESX OPERATING SYSTEMS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* If you have the SCIM RPM installed, keyboard navigation may not function
correctly while selecting the 'Selection Options'.
* Running the CD/DVD Read Exerciser test on corrupt CD media or on
a faulty drive may cause the test to run for a longer duration,
and Online Diagnostics may appear to hang.
Terminate Online Diagnostics and try running the test
again in the Quick Test mode.
* Serial port tests are not enumerated on Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux(R)
version 5 update 3 with XEN kernel. This is because XEN kernel uses the
serial port during system boot up and operating system fails to load the
serial port driver.
* The Intel NIC description may have some extra trailing characters on
the Diagnostics selection page on systems running the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux operating system. This does not impact the NIC
functionality.
* Intel Offline test fails when the network services are stopped,
if the adapter is not configured for Wake-on-LAN (WOL) or
Manageability; and the PHY is powered off.
Since the test powers on the PHY and enables WOL, the
test passes next time onwards.
* Connecting or removing USB or CD/DVD devices from Red Hat
Enterprise Linux systems, while the enumeration is in progress,
may cause the system to hang.
* The Online Diagnostics GUI may behave unpredictably when it is
run from an ssh-client on Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4.
To resolve the issue, use ssh with -Y option ("Enable Trusted X11
