SELF TESTING THE SYSTEM
From the main PC-DBA Screen (during connection between the system and the switch - see page 84 ):
1) Go to Maintenance
X
Diagnostics
X
Self test to display the the Self Test submenu.
2) Select System to display a screen asking you to decide if you want to:
• Wait for Results
This option allows you to run the test without getting results (you can run the report at any time
afterward using the “Test Report” option - see “Run the Self Test Report Only” on page 95).
IMPORTANT!
When invoking the test for the entire system, Vertical recommends that you not
select the “Wait for Result” option as this option takes several minutes to
complete. It also prevents you from using any other PC-DBA functions.
• No, Don’t Wait (recommended option)
This option allows you to run the test “behind the scenes” while still performing other PC-DBA tasks.
This choice is recommended over the “Wait for Results” option as it allows you to continue working
while the test is being executed.
3) Select which option you want to use (e.g., Wait or Don’t Wait).
4) Click Go to run the self test of the system.
• If you selected “Wait for Results” the test may take several minutes or more to complete. Once the
test is completed, a screen will appear which allows you to select the specific test report you want to
view (see step 2 on
page 95
)
• If you select “Do Not Wait”, the test will run while you continued to perform tasks within PC-DBA.
When the time is convenient, you can check for test results at a later time (see
“Run the Self Test
Report Only”
below).
• To run self tests specifically for boards/modules and ports, see below.
Diagnositics (continued on next page)
If you choose this option, you will not be able to
perform any other PC-DBA tasks until the test is completed.
This option allows you to run the test in the background so that you can
still work in PC-DBA. You can then use the Test report option from the
Diagnostics menu to obtain a specific report at a later time.
