Example test output

When you run a test, its name, results, and error messages, if any, appear on the screen and you are returned to the test menu.

In the following example, the Comprehensive test is selected in the GBE Diagnostic menu. The external loopback test is skipped because the GbE card was not prepared for being tested in extended mode.

Error message output

A diagnostic can log up to 12 errors. If the test encounters too many errors, it stops execution. If the stop option is enabled, the diagnostic stops execution at the end of a complete test pass. After the test finishes, you can run additional tests and continue logging additional errors.

Example

The following example shows an error message you might see during a test:

DZH0112 Battery dead. RTC not functional!
