Running embedded system diagnostics from an external media

Steps

  1. Format the external resource media (USB flash drive or CDROM) to emulate a hard drive.
    See the documentation that came with the resource media for instructions.
  2. Configure the resource media to be a bootable device.
  3. Create a directory for the system diagnostics on the resource media.
  4. Copy the system diagnostics files into the directory.
    To download the Dell diagnostics utility, go to Dell.com/support/home.
  5. Connect the resource media on your system.
  6. As the system boots, press F11.
  7. When prompted, select the media to perform a one-time boot.
    If diagnostics does not start automatically after the diagnostic media is booted, enter psa at the command prompt.
