The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco UCS Server Diagnostics Utility (Cisco UCS SDU) allows the user to perform interactive offline diagnostics on various server components to determine the health status for the Cisco UCS B-Series, C-Series, S-Series, and X-Series servers. If a diagnostic test identifies that a component has any issue, the Cisco UCS SDU also provides recommended action items as resolutions that can be followed to improve the health of the component.
To determine which Cisco UCS servers are supported by the release, see the associated Release Notes for Cisco UCS Server Diagnostic Utilities.
The following are the minimum hardware requirements for Cisco UCS SDU:
CD-ROM drive—A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive is required to be able to boot and run the Cisco UCS SDU. You can also use the virtual media option in the CIMC KVM to boot the Cisco UCS SDU.
Mouse—Some functions require a standard mouse (PS/2 or USB) for navigation.
RAM—A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required. If the available RAM is less than the minimum recommended value, the diagnostics utility may not function as expected.
