Profile XP diagnostics
Profile XP diagnostics provide a means of testing the circuit boards installed in the
Profile XP unit either individually or as a group.
Before you start Profile XP diagnostics, you must disconnect all video and reference
signal cables (Fibre Channel and external disk connections should remain connected).
Starting Profile XP diagnostics
When you start diagnostics, the Profile XP system automatically shuts down and
reboots in Diagnostic mode before running the diagnostic program. Once in
Diagnostics mode, other Profile XP applications (i.e. VdrPanel, Configuration
Manager, etc.) can not run. To restore the Profile XP Media Platform to Production
mode, you must reboot the system.
To open the Profile XP diagnostics window and connect to the local host:
1. Select
Start | Programs | Profile Debug Tools | Diagnostics
.
2. Confirm, as prompted, to reboot the Profile XP Media Platform in diagnostics
mode. On reboot, Windows NT performs auto-logon and Profile XP diagnostics is
started.
3. When the diagnostic window opens, click the
Connect
button, .
The Profile XP system is initialized to run diagnostics. To proceed with tests, refer
to following section, “Launching the tests”.
NOTE: To return the Profile XP Media Platform to Production mode after running
diagnostics, you must reboot the system.
Launching the tests
The tests are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure, which is displayed in the left
panel of the window.
Double-click the All tests selection in the test tree or double-click a particular board
to run tests on that board alone. When the tests run, a green check mark appears by
the boards that test OK and a red X appears next to the names of boards that fail.
