Run Card Tests

References to “Cards” refers to fabric controllers, management I/O modules, node cards and the chassis ID module. Fans and power supplies are not included in the Card tests; they can be tested through the standard chassis test (page 93), or as individual components.

The following tests are available to locate and diagnose one or more cards in the chassis:

Run a Card Self-Test

To perform a diagnostic self-test on a card:

1.Enter the diag card # command.

You cannot stop the card test once it has begun.

Example

Topspin-270> enable

Topspin-270# config

Topspin-270(config)# diag card 11

Topspin-270(config-diag-card-11)# test self-test

Topspin-270(config-diag-card-11)# start

Topspin-270(config-diag-card-11)# exit

Topspin-270(config)# exit

2.Exit the test to view the progress of the test. The test takes approximately 5 - 8 minutes.

Example of test in progress

Topspin-270#show diagnostic card 11
