KB 924938 - Supermicro Super Diagnostics Offline (SDO) Test Tool
What is SDO
Super Diagnostics Offline (SDO) is a powerful hardware diagnostic utility developed by Supermicro.
It works offline and is OS-independent, capable of testing a wide range of server components to ensure system integrity and streamline troubleshooting.
Steps to follow:
- Download the “SuperDiag” zip file from https://www.supermicro.com/sms, unzip and save the right folder (“X86” for Intel/AMD platforms and “ARM” for Arm platforms) to a USB pen drive. Note that the USB key must be in FAT32 format
- Modify startup.nsh to run your specific test item or keep the default setting to run all test items.
- On the target system, set the boot option to EFI USB Key.
- Use the USB pen drive to boot so the system automatically runs the diagnostic test
- The tool creates a folder in the USB pen drive with the board name, serial number, and time label in which to save the results. A summary log in Hypertext (.html) can be found in the folder.
- To view the raw data in JSON format, download it from the summary log (.html) directly, and drag and drop the log file in JSN format to a Google Chrome™ browser or use another method to access data in JSON format.
- To retrieve additional information (e.g., SMBIOS and PCI registers), you can append the /dmpinfo parameter to the startup.nsh and run the diagnostic test.
- To view the additional information in TEXT format, download it from the summary log (.html) directly, and drag and drop the TEXT file to a Google Chrome™ browser or use other method to access data in TEXT format.
