Selecting a Device To Test
Extensive hardware tests are performed by the firmware when the multiaccess
enclosure boots up. But there may be times when you have removed and replaced
a failing part and you want to run an individual test before a full bootup or reset.
The firmware allows you to run these individual tests:
¹
Test All Subsystems: This test runs all the subsystem tests that are listed on
this panel.
¹
Test Memory: This test searches all available memory regions, tests the
regions, and presents a consolidated list of test results.
¹
Test System Board: This tests the PowerPC

CPU, the System Board
interrupts, and the PCMCIA controller.
¹
Test IDE devices: This test runs on the IDE devices.
