Understanding the System Self Test
The NewsroomSuite computer runs a System Self Test automatically each time
that you boot the computer. The System Self Test looks at three areas:
• Software Installation—Checks for the correct version of Profile software,
Direct X driver, Targa drivers (for NewsEdit XT), operating system and
video drivers (NewsEdit LT and SC), and export and cache service. In an
Open SAN system, this test also checks the CVFS version.
• System Configuration—In NewsEdit XT, checks for the correct version of
Targa board and Breakout Box firmware; in NewsEdit LT and SC, checks
for the correct version of the audio renderer and the VMR.
• AV Disk Performance—Tests the media drives input and output
performance.
As the System Self Test runs, you see the results in the System Self Test
window:
