Description
This command performs hardware diagnostic tests on any one memory circuit
packs or on all memory circuit packs in the technician specified carrier. Neither
the short nor the long test is destructive when testing memory.
Defaults
The cabinet default is always cabinet 1. For SPE simplex systems, the default
carrier is the "a" carrier. For SPE duplex systems, there is no default carrier. The
defaults for the remaining parameters are short with a repeat of 1.
Parameters
Help Messages
If the system technician presses HELP after entering "test memory" on a simplex
SPE system the following message will be displayed:
Enter [cabinet(1)];carrier(A),
location The location designates the physical position of the desired memory
circuit pack. The location consists of a cabinet number and carrier
letter. The cabinet number is always optional and must be a "1" or a
"01" if entered. The carrier must be either "a" or "b" for SPE duplex
systems. For SPE simplex systems, the carrier must be "a" if entered.
short This will cause the command to execute a series of nondestructive
diagnostic tests.
long This will execute a more comprehensive and longer version of the
diagnostic tests. The long version does not include any destructive
tests for this command.
repeat number The "number" specifies how many times each test in the sequence is
to be repeated. "Number" may be any integer between 1 and 100.
clear This option causes the test sequence (short or long) to repeat until the
alarm (if one exists against the maintenance object) is cleared or a
single test in the sequence fails. If no alarms are registered against the
maintenance object then the test sequence will be exercised only
once. The long clear option forces a clear of all alarms if no errors are
encountered during testing. The short clear option only clears alarms
pertinent to tests in the short sequence.
schedule When the "schedule" option is specified, the command is validated
and then a scheduling form is displayed to allow the technician to
schedule execution of the command. The command is then placed in
the command queue and is executed at the specified time. The
information displayed by the command is sent to the system printer
instead of the screen. Refer to the Report Scheduler and System
Printer feature specification [1] for more details.
