About Diagnostic Tests

Running Chassis Self-Test

The following tests are available to locate and diagnose the chassis:

LED

Standard

Extended

Extended Memory

The example below shows how to run a chassis standard test.

Note The sample text in the steps below shows command output for the Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch. For the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch, you would see a similar display.

The chassis standard test runs a diagnostic test on the following units in a chassis:

The power supply and fan unit contained in the power supply module

The base card

To perform a chassis standard test, follow these steps:

Step 1 Start the test by entering the diag chassis test standard command and the start command.

SFS-7000P> enable

SFS-7000P# config

SFS-7000P(config)#diag chassis test standard

SFS-7000P(config-diag-chassis)# start

SFS-7000P(config-diag-chassis)#

Step 2 Display the status of the test by entering the show diag chassis command.

SFS-7000P(config-diag-chassis)# exit SFS-7000P(config)# exit SFS-7000P# show diag chassis
