IBM 6568, 6578, 6579, 6269, 6059, 6058, 6569, 6648, 6649 Alert-On LAN test, Asset ID test, Test results

Follow the steps below to locate the IBM PC Enhanced Memory Diagnostics test options.

1.Select the DIAGNOSTICS option on the toolbar and press Enter.

2.Highlight either the Memory Test-Fullor Memory Test-Quickoption and press Enter.

3.Memory Test-Full

The full memory test will take about 80 seconds per MB of memory and will detect marginal, intermittent, and solid (stuck) memory failures.

4.Memory Test-Quick

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

Notes

Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single SIMM or DIMM socket.

Only sockets containing a SIMM or DIMM can be selected for testing.

Unpopulated sockets are noted by beside the test description.
