Overview

Intel’s diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are any problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network connection. You can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during troubleshooting. DIAGS is a single program that operates identically under multiple operating systems.

These utilities are designed to test hardware operation and confirm the adapter’s ability to communicate with another adapter in the same network, primarily confirming cabling. They should not be used to judge performance.

They can test the adapter whether or not there is a responder on the network. In order to do a thorough test, however, you should set-up a second system on the network as a responder prior to starting a test.
