Setting Up Dell Online Diagnostics 11
Diagnostic Requirements
To run Online Diagnostics you require:
• Administrator privileges
• Devices that are required for each operating system to run Online
Diagnostics.
Table 2-1 lists the devices and the dependencies that are required for each
operating system to run Online Diagnostics. If these device dependencies are
not met, Online Diagnostics exhibits the default behavior.

dependency is not
met)
Intel NIC Windows Intel PROSet management agent
or Intel PROSet utility for
Microsoft Device Manager. These
are installed as an option when
Intel Driver is installed. You can
download Intel Driver from
support.dell.com. For Drivers &
Downloads, this appears under the
Network category of the selected
product.
Intel vendor network
tests are not
available.
NOTE: For systems that have a PCIe Intel network interface card (NIC), Intel PROSet Utility
for Microsoft Device Manager is required for the Intel network adapter diagnostics in
Windows. If you have a PCI-X Intel NIC, install either the Intel PROSet utility for Microsoft
Device Manager or the Intel PROSet management agent to enable Intel network adapter
diagnostics. If you have any other Dell-supported Intel NIC, you must install the Intel
PROSet management agent. If these requirements are not met, the Intel vendor tests are
not available (only the default network diagnostics will be available).
