Performing Diagnostics
This chapter assists you with using the Diagnostics application on the Sun Fire X2250
Server Tools & Drivers CD. The Tools & Drivers CD is available separately with the
optional Sun Fire X2250 media and documentation kit. For more information on
using the Tools & Drivers CD software, see Appendix B.
Diagnostic output is accessible on systems that are running supported Linux or
Solaris operating systems. To view diagnostic output on a Windows system, you
must use a USB diskette drive attached to your server. For information, see
Section 3.6.6, “Accessing the Diagnostic Partition on the Windows Server 2003
Operating System” on page 3-16.
If you are having specific problems with your system, use the Pc-Check Diagnostics
software to diagnose and resolve these issues.
