Using the DOS Diagnostic Utility for Preliminary Testing
The diagnostic program performs preliminary analysis of the HBA before
displaying the main menu. If no HBA is found, the program exits. Error messages
are displayed on failure conditions.
During startup, the diagnostic and firmware download utility program:
1. Looks for installed PCI HBAs.
2. Executes preliminary testing on all installed HBAs. Tests include:
a. SLIM memory test
b. BIU register test
c. BIU configuration registers test
3. Reports pass or fail status messages.
4. Resets the HBAs.
5. Checks Power-On Self Test (POST) status of HBAs.
6. Reports revision levels of diagnostic and functional firmware.
7. Displays the resources of each HBA.
