Specifications
11.2.37 Test 71: 82559ER Interface Test
This BIST verifies the operation of the external Ethernet interface of both 82559ER controllers,
when communicating with a second Ethernet equipped board. The test will only run in
conjunction with a Concurrent Technologies Soak Test Master.
The test exchanges data packets between two boards. One board is designated ‘master’ by the
test controller and will transmit first. The received data is checked against expected results.
Error codes:
0300h - see error message for details.
11.2.38 Test 80: SCSI Based PMC Site Test
This BIST uses a Concurrent Technologies SC PMC/825 or SC PMC/875 PMC SCSI module to
verify the operation of any PMC sites connected to the board. Both baseboard and carrier-based
PMC sites are tested.
Error codes:
0401h - could not find a SC PMC/825 or SC PMC/875 PMC SCSI module to conduct the test
0402h - a module failed the test. The associated error message identifies the module and
reason
11.2.39 Test 85: Floppy Disk Drive Test
This BIST checks the operation of the PC compatible floppy disk controller and associated
hardware. The BIST comprises a number of sub-tests, of which only the Floppy Controller test is
run by default. The BIST operates on drive A: by default, however drive B: can be specified by a
BIST parameter.
11.2.39.1 Controller Access Test
This sub-test checks access to the floppy disk controller hardware. No disk drive is required for
this test.
11.2.39.2 Diskette Access Test
This sub-test checks access to a floppy disk drive by reading a single sector from a floppy disk.
The content of the disk is not important; the first 256 bytes of the sector will be displayed on
screen.
11.2.39.3 Disk Checksum Test
This sub-test reads the entire contents of a floppy disk and computes the byte checksum (32-bit
sum-of-bytes). The computed checksum value is displayed allowing different test disks to be
used.
Error codes:
0420h - Failure during Floppy Controller test
0440h - Failure during Disk Access test
0480h - Failure during Disk Verify test
04FFh - Invalid BIST parameter supplied
These values are modified by adding the following sub-codes to identify the cause of the error.
01h - Error during controller command phase
02h - Error writing data to the controller
04h - Error reading data from the controller
05h - Wrong interrupt received
06h - No interrupt received
