TESTING THE HARD DRIVE - 8
Drive Failure Notification
If the drive under test has failed, the following information displays:
After pressing the
Next/No
button, the Error Code (EC), Main Test
function (Mt), and Sub Test (St) functions displays.
Record this data for future reference (see page 15 for a list of error
code definitions).
The WD Quick Tester has the ability to detect if the failing drive is a
Western Digital model that supports proprietary features. These
features can determine if the failure was caused by customer handling.
In this case, you will be notified that the drive is not covered under
warranty.
DO NOT
return the drive.
Test results are recorded to the drive’s logging sector (WD only) with
details of the test, assuming the drive is functional enough to support
the logging function. Results are also stored in the tester database.
Drive Pass Notification
As with the fail notification, the WD Quick Tester displays a
Pass
message when testing or erasing has completed successfully. The
operator must press the
Next/No
button to acknowledge the
successful test completion.
Test results are recorded to the drive’s Logging sector with details of
the test. Results are also stored in the tester database.
