portRegTest

Figure 7-17 shows the portRegTest command which is used to check each register located on the
motherboard and interface card(s) chips. Registers are set under firmware control and are used to control
the hardware route selection and other internal hardware functions.

This command may not be executed on an operational switch. Before issuing portRegTest, disable the
switch using the switchDisable command

This test validates that all registers can be successfully addressed.
