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:
Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single SIMM or
DIMM socket.
Only sockets containing a SIMM or DIMM can be selected for testing. Unpopulated sockets
are noted by ........ beside the test description.
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
Diagnostic 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 components unit-ID which corresponds to either a fixed disk
drive, removable media drive, serial or parallel port, processor, specific SIMM or
DIMM, or a device on the PCI bus.
v Date:
Contains the date on which the diagnostic test was run. The date is retrieved
