Server Diagnostics Mac OS X Tests

These tests are available if your server is running Server Diagnostics Mac OS X.

Startup Tests

These tests run when you start up Server Diagnostics Mac OS X.

Test	Estimated completion time	Description
Hardware Existence	1 second	Compares a table of sensors and
		fans with what’s connected to
		the logic board. If a sensor or
		fan isn’t found, an error occurs.
		Sensors, and hard drives found
		can be individually tested using
		sensor, hard drive tests.
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. The SMBIOS test
		reports these mapped-out
		DIMMS.

AirPort Tests

Test	Estimated completion time	Description
AirPort MAC Address Verification	1 second	Verifies MAC address isn’t all FFs
		or 00s.
AirPort Power Cycle	5 seconds	Verifies AirPort by performing
		a wireless scan after turning
		AirPort power off, then turning
		AirPort power on.
