Interactive Testing

3-19

When an interactive test is run, the pass/fail message appears at the bottom of the menu as

it scrolls up. For example, if you press Key 3 for the GRAPHICS 1 test, the system dis-

plays output similar to the following if the test passes:

Test Passed

When you press key 1, CPU S.S., the system displays the chassis code (0X004.108d),

along with the pass/fail text, as shown:

0x004.108D Test Passed

Interactive Testing Limitations

The following list shows the limitations you should be aware of when performing interac-

tive tests:

Chassis codes will only be displayed for the CPU S. S. test.

HIL and GRAPHICS tests will show either passed/failed or hardware busy/hard-

ware missing messages.

The console device used while running interactive tests will not be tested if select-

ed. For example:

A monitor is connected to the GRAPHICS 1 sub-system and you select the

Table 3-4 Interactive Tests

Test Description

CPU S.S. Tests the CPU super scalar operations

HIL INIT Initializes and tests the HIL interface. This test supports the

Model 748i VME system’s HP-HIL connector used with its

EISA converter board. If no HIL device is connected, the test

reports FAILED. If an HIL device is connected and is not the

Console device, the test reports PASSED.

If HIL is the console keyboard, the test will not be run and the

message “hardware in use” will be displayed.

GRAPHICS n Initialize and tests the speciﬁed graphics(n) interface(1,2,3,4

whatever is installed in the system.)

NOTE: If the hardware is missing, the test reports “Test not exe-

cuted ‘Hardware not present’.” If the speciﬁed graphics interface

is the console, the test will not run and “hardware in use” is

reported.
