3.3 Testing Your Workstation
3.3 Testing Your Workstation
Your workstation automatically runs a power-up self-test every time you turn
on the power to the system unit. Self-tests are programs that check your
workstation hardware to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Self-tests have numerous subtests that examine specific workstation
components. When a subtest discovers a problem, it displays a coded message,
called an error message, on the screen. When all the tests are done, the
workstation displays the console prompt (
>>
).
3.3.1 Using the Quick or Full Self-Test
You can issue one of the following console commands at the system console
prompt (
>>
) to change the number of self-tests the workstation runs during
power-up:
• To set up your system to run a quick self-test (the default setting), enter
the command setenv testaction q .
• To set up your system to run a more thorough set of self-tests, enter the
command setenv testaction t .
Chapter 10 explains the console commands in more detail.
You can run the full set of self-tests, collectively called the system self-test, at
any time. However, you must shut down your ULTRIX worksystem software
first.
