Overview of e-Diagtools
e-Diagtools has three main components:
❒The e-Diagtools pre-boot diagnostic capability. This generates an
audible set of beeps that helps diagnose a problem when the
computer cannot boot.
❒The e-Diagtools core tests, which pro ide hardware detection,
basic and ad anced system tests, and the possibility to generate
a Support Ticket with a complete record of the test results and
the PC’s configuration.
❒A set of functions to forward the Support Ticket to your
authorized support pro ider ia e-mail, and to retrie e and flash
the latest BIOS ersion for your computer.
Media
This ersion of HP e-Diagtools is supplied on the following media:
•The Utility Partition pre-installed on your hard disk (recommended).
•The HP PC Image Engineer - Image Library and Diagnostics
System CD-ROM for Vectra and Kayak, or Assist CD-ROM (Drivers
and Uti ities) for Brio, that may ha e been supplied with your new HP
PC.
•The HP DiagToo s CD-ROM.
•For HP Notebook PCs, this software is on the Recovery CD for
Notebook PCs
e-Features
The “e-features” of e-Diagtools are the network functions that
permit remote BIOS update, and communication of the Support
Ticket by e-mail to your support pro ider. These e-features can be
extended using TopTools to include remote troubleshooting and
diagnosis ia your LAN.
The possibility to repeat an audio error code signal to your support
pro ider, though not an ‘e-feature’, pro ides an additional and
useful remote capability of e-Diagtools.
v
NOTE Only the HP Utility Partition ersion of e-Diagtools supports the full
range of e-features. When you run e-Diagtools from a CD-ROM you
will not be able to send the Support Ticket ia e-mail or to update the
BIOS.
