The ePSA diagnostics can be initiated by which key during boot?

The ePSA (Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment) diagnostics can be initiated during the boot process by pressing the F12 key. This function key is commonly associated with the boot menu in Dell systems, allowing you to access various diagnostic utilities, including the ePSA feature.

When you press F12 upon startup, it provides a list of boot options, where you can select diagnostics, including ePSA. This diagnostic tool is pivotal in running comprehensive tests on the hardware components of a system, ensuring they are functioning correctly before loading the operating system.

Other keys like F1, F2, and F10 are typically used for different functionalities such as entering the system setup (BIOS), entering the boot options menu, or accessing recovery options respectively. Utilizing the correct key is crucial for effectively initiating the ePSA diagnostics process to troubleshoot hardware issues.
