Do not remove this device while testing.
Select one of the following test options:
* < 1. Run all tests excluding external wrap test >
* < 2. Run all tests including external wrap test >
Individual tests:
* < 3. PCI BUS >
* < 4. PROCESSOR >
* < 5. MEMORY >
* < 6. MEMORY PROT >
* < 7. TIMER >
* < 8. AIB >
* < 9. WRAP PLUG >
* <10. OPTICAL POWER >
* <11. LIGHT RECEPTION >
Select (1-11 or B=Back R=Refresh H=Help ):
Option 1 on the Test Options menu runs tests 3 through 8. Option 2 runs the first
test set and the wrap test. The remaining options, 3 to 11, enable the execution of
tests individually.
If you select option 3, 4, 6, or 7, the results will be displayed immediately.
If you select test option 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, or 11 (all long-running tests) the result may
not be available for a few minutes.
In this case, the test will continue to run and
the Device Status and Control Menu will be displayed again.
If you select option 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, or 11, you will also notice that the Operational
Status field indicates “TESTING.” In these instances, you will need to refresh the
panel until the system displays your test results. Option 10 is also a long-running
test, but selection of this option does not invoke the Device Status and Control
Menu. Instead, the system displays a panel that allows you to end the test at your
convenience.
The individual tests are the same tests that run as part of the default tests.
However, there are a few additional tests that are available only from the Test
Options menu. They are:
Wrap plug Option 9 runs the AIB test unit and an optical (external)
wrap test. The wrap test requires that the fiber be
removed and a wrap plug be installed. For an example of
using this function, see “Testing the Adapters” on
page 5-8.
