What is the primary purpose of ePSA diagnostics?

The primary purpose of ePSA diagnostics is to facilitate the diagnosis and troubleshooting of hardware issues. ePSA, which stands for Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment, is a built-in diagnostic tool that runs tests on various hardware components of a Dell system. This includes the processor, memory, storage devices, and other critical hardware elements. By identifying faults and providing error codes, ePSA allows users or technicians to pinpoint malfunctions effectively, ensuring that any hardware-related problems can be addressed before they lead to more significant failures or operational issues.

The focus of ePSA on hardware diagnostics rather than software performance or network settings underscores its role in maintaining system reliability and performance. It is specifically designed to analyze physical components, making it an essential tool for troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
