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 manually or automatically when the computer cannot
boot. You can also present the beep error code to your support provider for remote
diagnosis and enhanced problem solving. Available on HP Business PCs and
Workstations only.
❒ The e-Diagtools core tests, which provide hardware detection, basic and advanced
system tests, and a Support Ticket with a complete record of the test results and the
computer’s configuration.
❒ A set of functions to forward the Support Ticket to your authorized support provider
via email, and to retrieve and flash the latest BIOS version for your computer.
