2. Highlight either the Memory Test-Full or Memory Test-Quick option and press
Enter
.
• Memory Test-Full
The full memory test will take about 80 seconds per MB of memory and will
detect marginal, intermittent, and solid (stuck) memory failures.
• Memory Test-Quick
The quick memory test will take about 20 seconds per MB of memory and
will detect solid (stuck) memory failures only.
Alert-On LAN™ test
The Alert On LAN test does the following:
• Determines if Alert On LAN is supported on the system.
• Checks the revision ID register.
• Verifies the EEPROM checksum.
• Validates that a software alert can be sent.
Asset ID™ test
The Asset ID test does the following:
• Determines if Asset ID is supported on the system.
• Verifies the EEPROM areas.
• Performs an antenna detection test.
Test results
Diagnostics test results will produce the following error code format:
• Function Code:
Represents the feature or function within the PC.
• Failure Type:
Represents the type of error encountered.
• DeviceID:
Contains the component's 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.
•
Date:
Contains the date on which the diagnostic test was run. The date is retrieved from
CMOS and displayed using the YYYYMMDD format.
Notes:
Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single SIMM, DIMM or RIMM socket.
Only sockets containing a SIMM, DIMM or RIMM can be selected for testing. Unpopulated sockets are noted by ........
beside the test description.
