Extended Memory Tests

Extended memory tests test all available memory.

In Server Diagnostics EFI, memory tests (simple, multicore, and extended) are grouped under Memory tests.

The availability of extended memory tests depends on the server model you test.

Note: The time required to complete memory tests correlates to the amount of memory being tested. These estimates are based on testing 8 GB of memory.
