Test

Estimated completion time

Description

Boot ROM Headers and Data

15 seconds

Verifies headers and data

Checksum

 

checksum for all firmware

 

 

volume regions throughout

 

 

the Boot ROM.

 

 

 

Verify BOF Flash with CRC

1 second

Verifies that the low and high

 

 

limits for testing sensors are

 

 

correctly set.

 

 

 

SMBIOS Self-Test

1 second

Checks the SMBIOS tables for

 

 

32-bit errors (type 18) and 64-

 

 

bit errors (type 33). Also verifies

 

 

that the mapped-in DIMM size

 

 

is appropriate for the slot it’s

 

 

inserted into. If there’s a size

 

 

mismatch, an error occurs.

 

 

When the server tests memory

 

 

at startup, it maps out bad

 

 

memory. This mapped-out

 

 

memory is hidden from the

 

 

system and diagnostics so the

 

 

non-SMBIOS memory tests don’t

 

 

test it. The SMBIOS test reports

 

 

these mapped-out DIMMS.
