Running the Embedded System Diagnostics

Run the Embedded System Diagnostics (ePSA) if your system does not boot. The embedded system diagnostics program is run from the Dell Lifecycle Controller.

Prerequisites

If a major component or device in the system does not operate properly, running the embedded system diagnostics may indicate component failure.
CAUTION: Use the embedded system diagnostics to test only your system. Using this program with other systems may cause invalid results or error messages.

Steps

  1. As the system boots, press F11.
  2. Use the up and down arrow keys to select System Utilities > Launch Dell Diagnostics.
    The ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment window is displayed, listing all devices detected in the system. The diagnostics starts running the tests on all the detected devices.
