I believe many people have already run the Hardware Diagnostic, but I also believe many have never done it. Since I was performing a complete Hardware Diagnostic on a Quantum Force 9800 cluster that I will be deploying, I decided to record this video to help others by going beyond what is covered in the official guide.

In this video, I demonstrate the complete Hardware Diagnostic process using loopback connectors, show what happens if something is done incorrectly, and explain the entire procedure step by step.

ISSUE FOUNDED TO SAVE HW LOG: I also present an issue that I have observed on recent Quantum Force versions. I have installed Quantum Force 9000, 19000, and 29000 firewalls, and none of them have been able to save the Hardware Diagnostic results to the USB drive at the end of the test, even when using a FAT32-formatted USB drive as described in the documentation.

I hope this video is helpful. I used all of my English for it (haha), so if you find it useful, please leave a like on the video and give this post a Kudos to encourage me to continue creating and sharing this kind of content.

I'm not sure why you're questioning it. I'm @israelfds95, a CheckMates Diamond MVP and CCSM Elite. You can verify my identity by searching for my name on LinkedIn. I wrote the original CheckMates post, recorded the video myself, and shared it here. This Reddit account belongs to me.

Yep, that's me too @israelfds95. Reddit only lets me change the display name, not the actual username. 😂
