Using the System Exerciser
The system exerciser emulates an operating system by interacting with
system devices. The system exerciser tests all internal and external
devices. Use the system exerciser if your system has intermittent
problems. The system exerciser takes up to 11 minutes to complete and
will not write on any media.
If you suspect problems, use the system exerciser to check the quality of
your software media. Insert the RRD40 test disc into the RRD40 compact
disc drive before running the system exerciser. The test disc is supplied
with the drive.
To test your system:
1. Enter the TEST 50 command at the console prompt, to display your
configuration. Check that all devices are present in the configuration
display.
NOTE
The halt button halts the system.
2. Put the system in console mode by pressing the halt button on the
rear of the system, then pressing
Return
.
3. Enter the TEST 0 command:
>>>
TEST 0
Return
The following example shows the display that appears after the system
exerciser has run all tests. There is an error message for the RRD40
compact disc drive. If you get such an error message, contact your service
representative.
