Overview of DiagTools

The Vectra and Kayak hardware diagnostics utility has four parts:

❒Hardware Detection, which automatically detects the complete

hardware configuration of a Vectra PC or Kayak PC Workstation.

Hardware detection is described in chapter 2.

❒The Basic Tests, which determine the correct functioning of the PC

as a whole. The basic test phase is described in chapter 3.

❒The Advanced Tests. These provide complete, in-depth testing and

diagnosis of the PC’s individual components. The advanced test

phase is described in chapter 4.

❒The Support Ticket, which is a complete record of the test results

and the PC’s configuration. The support ticket can be used to

communicate the test results to your local or HP-dedicated Support

Agent. This is described in chapter 5.

Workstation platforms:
