vA defective device is causing another device not to be recognized.
vThe SCSI controller failed (on the system board or SCSI adapter).
vUse the procedure in “Undetermined problems” on page 75 to find the problem.
If a device is missing from the list, replace it. If this does not correct the problem, use the procedure in “Undetermined problems” on page 75.
Memory Diagnostic tests
The Memory Diagnostics provide the capability to identify a particular memory module (SIMM or DIMM) which fails during testing. Use the System Board Layout section to reference the memory sockets, or select F1 twice to load the Diagnostics online manual and select ″SIMM/DIMM/RIMM Locator″.
Follow the steps below to locate the Memory Diagnostic tests options.
1.Select the DIAGNOSTICS option on the toolbar and press Enter.
2.Highlight either the Memory
3.
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:
vEither level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single SIMM or DIMM socket.
vOnly sockets containing a SIMM or 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.
