Host Adapter Reset Test (#893)
The Host Adapter Reset Test #893 is run on demand in response to the reset
host-adapter command. This test resets the host adap ter circuit on the MSSNET
circuit pack and runs an initialization test.
Failure of the reset command will cause the host ad apter to be plac ed in an
internal "held reset" state. In this state the host adapter will not run any
background main tenance and will not respond to any commands except a reset
command. The only way to restore the host adapter to se rvice is for it to pass the
reset command. Demand tests will not run until then.
The test results for Test 893 are the same as those for Test 820. Refer to the
information presented for Test 820 for the appropr iate repair procedures.
