* The hard drive diagnostics are designed to run as low-priority background tasks to limit the effect of their activity on other hard-drive I/O activity. It is recommended that you limit drive activity while you are running the hard-drive diagnostics. The diagnostics may run slowly or even stop when other hard-drive I/O activity is running simultaneously. The diagnostics resume when the hard-drive I/O activity decreases.
drives. See the documentation that accompanied your device for more information, or access the latest drivers and firmware from the Dell Support website at "support.dell.com". The "Dell Online Diagnostics User's Guide" contains a list of the latest drivers and firmware versions for RAID Controllers. * Online Diagnostics does not support Adaptec SCSI HostRaid 0 or 1.

* Install Dell-qualified device drivers to run diagnostics on tape drives, tape autoloaders, and tape libraries. See the documentation that accompanied your device for more information, or access the latest drivers from the Dell Support website at "support.dell.com". * Do not run diagnostics simultaneously on multiple tape devices. In addition, do not run diagnostic tests simultaneously with the SCSI communication tests.

* During the Autoloader Self-test, the Tape Device Self-test displays a warning (Data on the media will be destroyed!) at the start. This message applies specifically to tape drives and is not valid for Autoloaders. * If you disable a network adapter and then enable it, or if you run diagnostics and restart Online Diagnostics, the NICs may not be available in the "Select Test(s) to Run" tree. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the adapter to return to an active state.
* In the Command Line Interface (CLI), if you abort a diagnostic test, the test results may not appear in some scenarios. * The Disk Self Test may fail if you remove the hard disk while the test is running. The test may fail the first time it is run after re-inserting the disk. Ignore this failure and run the test again. * When you run diagnostic tests or enumerate with "racadm racreset" command on a DRAC5 simultaneously, the device may not be enumerated or the test might fail in CLI/GUI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------ISSUES FOR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS ---------------------------------------------------------------------* On Windows Small Business Server system, network administrator is not a full privileged Administrator to run Dell Online Diagnostic application. To run Online Diagnostic application, click Start->Programs->Online Diagnostic 2.17 and right click "Online Diagnostic GUI" or "Online Diagnostic CLI" and select “Run as administrator”.
* When Broadcom diagnostics tests are run on NetXtreme II card, this message may appear: "DIAG Client for NetExtreme II GigE". Install the required driver from either the 'Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools CD' or from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com. * You cannot launch the User's Guide through the application, when the application is installed in a folder with double-byte characters (Japanese or Simplified Chinese) in the path and Mozilla or Firefox is the default browser.
* 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.
* ICH7R IDE controllers are not supported. Running tests on this controller or the devices connected to it may cause unexpected behavior. * When you run a SCSI Communication test, on a channel that has an LTO3 tape drive connected to it and perform a backup simultaneously using 'tar commands', the backup operation may fail. Ensure that backup or restore operations are not in progress before running the SCSI Communication test.
tests are not supported on the device.” On VMWare, running the pediags idedevdiag --show command does not enumerate the SATA disks. * Linux Enterprise servers, Broadcom NIC Test case fails when NICs are teamed. This is a known limitation on Linux and “Failover” is expected as per bonding module design. In this scenario, select and run Broadcom NIC test cases individually. * On 11G servers in absence AMEA card on iDRAC, upon starting OLD at command prompt(using startDiags.
