Running diagnostic tests
About the tests
The Diagnostic Monitor enables you to run tests of all components in the
system or to select individual components for testing.
Tests that are labeled [Xtnd] often
require you to install a set of appropriate loopback plugs on the tested
component before you start the test and will indicate failures without these
plugs.
Caution: Do not run [Xtnd] mode
diagnostics on network adapter cards with live network connections. Disconnect
all network connections prior to running network diagnostics in [Xtnd]
mode. Running with attached networks can adversely affect other attached
devices. Type xtnd n to
cancel Extended test mode.
Items that are labeled [Factory], [Mfg],
or the like, are accessible only to Network Appliance manufacturing personnel
with special password privileges.
