3.1 Pc-Check Diagnostics Overview
Sun Fire X2250 server diagnostics are contained in the DOS-based Pc-Check utility.
This program can be accessed and executed only from the Sun Fire X2250 Server
Tools & Drivers CD. Pc-Check was designed to detect and test all motherboard
components, ports, and slots.
If you encounter any hardware-related error message (such as memory errors or hard
disk errors) on your Sun Fire X2250 server, run one of the following:
■ Advanced Diagnostics Test: A specific hardware component test
■ Immediate Burn-in Test: A Sun Fire X2250 server diagnostic test script
The following procedure describes how to access these test options from the Sun Fire
X2250 Server Tools & Drivers CD.
3.1.1 Accessing the Pc-Check Diagnostics Software
1. Do one of the following, depending on which method you are using to access
the Pc-Check diagnostics software:

Drivers CD into your DVD drive and reboot the system.
■ If you are running the Pc-Check software from a PXE server: Follow the instructions in
Appendix B to set up the PXE server.
The system boots to the Sun Fire X2250 Server Tools & Drivers CD main menu.
2. Type 1 to run the hardware diagnostics software.
