v Memory Test-Quick
The quick memory test will take about 20 seconds per MB of memory and
will detect solid (stuck) memory failures only.
Notes:
v Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single RIMM
socket.
v RIMM memory requires that all memory slots be filled, either with a RIMM or a
continuity module (C-RIMM).
Alert-On LAN
™
test
The Alert On LAN test does the following:
v Determines if Alert On LAN is supported on the system.
v Checks the revision ID register.
v Verifies the EEPROM checksum.
v Validates that a software alert can be sent.
Asset ID
™
test
The Asset ID test does the following:
v Determines if Asset ID is supported on the system.
v Verifies the EEPROM areas.
v Performs an antenna detection test.
Test results
Diagnostics test results will produce the following error code format:
Function
Code
Failure Type DeviceID Date ChkDigits Text
v Function Code:
Represents the feature or function within the PC.
v Failure Type:
Represents the type of error encountered.
v DeviceID:
Contains the component’s unit-ID which corresponds to either a fixed disk
drive, removable media drive, serial or parallel port, processor, specific RIMM,
or a device on the PCI bus.
v Date:
Contains the date on which the diagnostic test was run. The date is retrieved
from CMOS and displayed using the YYYYMMDD format.
v ChkDigits:
Contains a 2-digit check-digit value to ensure the following:
– Diagnostics were run on the specified date.
– Diagnostics were run on the specified IBM computer.
– The diagnostic error code is recorded correctly.
v Text:
Description of the error.
