Checkout
Overview
The checkout procedure process provides a method of verifying operational and
functional performance without having to disassemble the unit. Failure to attain the
prescribed results indicates a need for calibration, configuration, or repair of the
equipment.
The checkout procedure process is based on the assumption that the equipment being
tested is using known, good cables. It also requires that the user be familiar with the
operation of the system. For more information concerning the operation of these
components, refer to the operator manual associated with the equipment.
Perform all of the checkout procedures included in this section to completely test the
system for proper function and operation.
Perform the checkout procedures upon receipt of the equipment, every year thereafter,
and each time a component is removed or replaced.
Checkout procedures need to be performed at the following times:
When initially installing or upgrading the software. See Installation checkout
procedures on page 8-2.
When performing preventive maintenance. See Preventive maintenance checkout
procedures on page 8-3.
When replacing any FRU. See FRU replacement checkout procedures on page 8-
3.
General
Follow these instructions to completely test the system for proper function and
operation.
You must close all files before starting the checkout procedures. If the disk drive is
currently in use, a message asks if you want to reschedule the disk checking for the
next time you restart your system. Then, the next time you restart your system, disk
checking runs. Your disk drive will not be available to run other tasks while this
process runs.
