Installing the Diagnostic Software
To install the Diagnostic Software from the CD, complete the following steps:
1. Boot to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) shell on the target system.
2. Copy the distributed FieldDiags binary file (fielddiags.efi) from the media to the root directory of
the target.
3. Execute the distributed FieldDiags binary file by entering the following command:
fielddiags –d \efi\intel\service\diagnostics
Execution of this file unpacks and installs the rx4610 Platform Diagnostic Tests software. If the
directory on the target drive does not exist, it will be automatically created during the execution
of the command.
Invoking the Application

the directory does not exist, refer to "Installing the Diagnostic Software" for instructions on how
to setup the diagnostic software.
3. Enter the following command to start the application:

diagnostic test interface with tests. If you do not use a filename
extension, ".cfg" is used.
