vMemory Test-Quick

The quick memory test will take about 20 seconds per MB of memory and will detect solid (stuck) memory failures only.

Notes:

vEither level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single RIMM socket.

vRIMM memory requires that all memory slots be filled, either with a RIMM or a continuity module (C-RIMM).

Alert-On LAN™ test

The Alert On LAN test does the following:

vDetermines if Alert On LAN is supported on the system.

vChecks the revision ID register.

vVerifies the EEPROM checksum.

vValidates that a software alert can be sent.

Asset ID™ test

The Asset ID test does the following:

vDetermines if Asset ID is supported on the system.

vVerifies the EEPROM areas.

vPerforms an antenna detection test.
