Abstract
An information handling system includes a processor and a management controller separate from the processor. The management controller is operable to boot the information handling system to a system service management module, direct the system service management module to execute diagnostics code on the processor and to store a result from the execution of the diagnostics code in a predetermined memory location. The management controller is also operable to retrieve the result from the predetermined memory location.
