vMemory 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.

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:
Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a selected DIMM socket.
Only DIMM sockets containing a DIMM can be selected for testing. Unpopulated sockets are noted by	beside
the test description.

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.

Text

vFunction Code:

Represents the feature or function within the PC.

vFailure Type:

Represents the type of error encountered.

vDeviceID:

Contains the component’s unit-ID which corresponds to either a fixed disk drive, removable media drive, serial or parallel port, processor, specific DIMM, or a device on the PCI bus.

vDate:

Contains the date on which the diagnostic test was run. The date is retrieved from CMOS and displayed using the YYYYMMDD format.

vChkDigits:

Contains a 2-digit check-digit value to ensure the following:
