The Agent/RLM diagnostic tests the interface of the remote LAN management card that is in your system. The Agent/RLM diagnostic tests can generate error messages associated with the hardware.
Note: Tests that are labeled [Xtnd]
often require loopback plugs for complete test operation and will indicate
failures without these plugs.
Caution: Do not run [Xtnd]
mode diagnostics on network adapter cards with live network connections.
Disconnect all network connections prior to running network diagnostics
in [Xtnd] mode. Running with attached
networks can adversely affect other attached devices. Type xtnd
n to cancel Extended test mode.
