4.5 Burn-In Testing
Burn-In testing enables you to run test scripts and to create new scripts.
The Diagnostics main menu provides two burn-in selections, Immediate Burn-In
Testing and Deferred Burn-In Testing.
■
Immediate Burn-In enables you to run an existing script and to select
configuration options.
■
Deferred Burn-In enables you to create a new script.
Sun provides three ready-made scripts designed to test the general health of the
devices on your system. These scripts include:
■ quick.tst
– This script performs a series of tests that require the user to interact
with the test software. When they require a user interaction, they stop and do not
time out. These tests are faster than the
full.tst
but they are less thorough. For
example, they do not run all the tests associated with a DIMM.
■ noinput.tst
– This script performs a non-detailed test of most hardware
components, excluding those components that require user input (keyboard,
mouse, sound, and video). This test does not require user input. It is normally the
first test performed for hardware-related problems.
■
full.tst
– This script performs a detailed and comprehensive test on all
hardware components, including those that require user input. It includes external
port tests and requires loopback connectors on COM ports, parallel ports and USB
ports. You must interact with the test utility to progress through these interactive
tests.
Tip –
Each of these scripts tests the operating status of your entire system. To test
specific disk drives independently of the rest of the system, use the procedures in
Section 4.4, “Hard Disk Testing” on page 4-6 .
