For CX4 (copper interface) applications an external module is required to connect the four transmit lanes to the four corresponding receive lanes. This module must contain all of the associated handshake signals required to redirect the four transmit lanes to the four receive lanes.

For XFP (10 Gigabit small form factor pluggable module) applications, an 850 nm multi-mode cable with LC connectors is required to connect the transmit lane to the receive lane externally.

Link. Reports the status of the link as up or down.

LED. Interactive test that causes the LEDs to blink. The software/driver has no auto-detect mechanism for checking LEDs. Visually inspect the LEDs on the adapter. The LEDs should blink for several seconds. No blinking LEDs indicates that the test failed.

All Tests. Runs all of the diagnostic tests described in this section by using the single command.

1.Boot to DOS or the EFI shell.

2.From the DOS prompt navigate to the \APPS\DIAGS\MFDIAG directory.

3.Type XDIAG and press the Enter key. The diagnostic tests run automatically.

About the XDIAG.exe diagnostic tests

The xdiag.exe diagnostic tests are divided into four groups: Group A: Register tests; Group B: Memory

tests; Group C: Block tests; an Group D: Miscellaneous tests.

Group A: Register tests

•A1. Register test

This tests the chip registers, accessible through PCI/PCI-E bus, for their read-only and read/write attributes. Some critical registers are not tested as the system and/or the chip becomes unstable when the values change.

•A2. PCI configuration test

This test checks the functionality of the BAR size configuration by examining the BAR value as the BAR size varies.

•A3. Interrupt test

This test checks to see if the system (OS) receives the interrupt artificially generated by the chip and if the software ISR is properly invoked.

•A4.

Not used

•A5. MSI test

This test checks for the correct behavior of the MSI, making sure no interrupt is generated other than the message. It also runs the negative test to make sure no message is generated when interrupt is masked off.

•A6. Memory BIST

This tests all memory modules inside the chip using Built-In-Self-Test (BIST).

•A7. Network link test
