v 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:
v Either level of memory testing can be performed on all memory or a single RIMM

socket.

v RIMM 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:
v Determines if Alert On LAN is supported on the system.
v Checks the revision ID register.
v Verifies the EEPROM checksum.
v Validates that a software alert can be sent.

Asset ID

test

The Asset ID test does the following:
v Determines if Asset ID is supported on the system.
v Verifies the EEPROM areas.
v Performs an antenna detection test.

Text

v Function Code:

Represents the feature or function within the PC.

v Failure Type:

Represents the type of error encountered.
