NVRAM4 diagnostics

The following table describes the NVRAM4 test menu.

Test no	Test	Description
1	Comprehensive NVRAM test	Runs all tests in current mode.
2	Config test	Compares NVRAM memory size and part number against what is expected for the model.
3	Compact flash menu	This option is usable on systems with a compact flash-enabled NVRAM card. Select this option to enter the compact flash menu.
4	Front panel menu	This option is usable on systems with a front panel-enabled NVRAM card. Currently, only C2100 Netcache appliance uses a front panel-enabled NVRAM card. Select this option to enter the front panel menu.
5	Environmental Test	Tests NVRAM environmental sensors and states.
6	Charger test	Tests the voltage of the battery charger and determines if the voltage is a good value for the current states of the charger and battery.
7	PCI bridge test	Tests basic NVRAM communication.
8	Memory self test	Tests NVRAM and its ability to manage memory.
9	Address pattern test	Runs address pattern test on memory addresses.
10	Memory data walking test	Runs quick test of data lines.
11	Memory address walking test	Runs quick test of all address lines to verify address paths in NVRAM memory.
12	Partial-word load/store test	Tests intermixed data sizes.
13	Memory random data test	Runs longer test by writing and reading random data to all NVRAM locations.
14	Memory random address test	Runs longer test using random addresses.
15	ECC test	Tests ability to fix ECC errors.
16	DMA test	Tests the data moving capabilities and DMA error correction (ECC) capabilities of the NVRAM card.
72	Micro Menu [Mfg only]	Menu not available.
74	Fill for power cycle test, DMA write	Fills NVRAM memory with data patterns for power cycle test, which does DMA writes.
75	Fill for power cycle test, burst write	Fills NVRAM memory with data patterns for power cycle test, which does burst writes.
76	Fill for power cycle test, burst read	Fills NVRAM memory with data patterns for power cycle test, which does burst reads.
77	Fill for power cycle test	Fills NVRAM memory with data patterns for power cycle test.
78	Verify data retention	Checks the retention of data in NVRAM after a power cycle. Data comes from data patterns entered in Test 75.
79	Single byte read/write	Tests single location for read and write capability.
80	Show serial # and revision	Displays serial number and revision of the NVRAM.
81	Set serial #, rev, and part# [Mfg]	Option not available.
82	Display from given address	Displays the contents of a memory address location.
83	Display service area by address	Dump special NVRAM memory locations.
85	Memory read/write	Tests memory for read and write capability.
86	Service area read/write [Mfg]	Option not available.
87	Flash write [Xtnd]	Rewrites the firmware of the NVRAM card. Use this option if the card's firmware is outdated. The card's firmware version is printed in the NVRAM menu header. The up-to-date firmware version is 0115.
90	NVRAM card selection	Enables the selection of a specific NVRAM card for testing.
91	Enable/disable looping	Enables or disables continuous running of a diagnostic test. The test is stopped when Ctrl-C is pressed or when an error is encountered if option 92 is active.
92	Stop/continue on error	Starts or stops running a diagnostic test on an error. If looping is enabled, as set by option 91, looping continues after an error is encountered.
93	Extended/normal test mode	Enables or disables extended mode on tests where extended mode is an available option.
99	Exit	Exits diagnostics.
