3 Chapter Diagnostics Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows CE The Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows CE is a group of hardware diagnostic tests designed to test the RA4000 Controller. It executes on the Windows CE operating system. The test configuration uses a serial cable connected from the handheld computer to the RA4000 Controller. It takes advantage of the built-in self test on the array controller to determine what subsystem is failing. The areas of test include: Cache, RAM, PCI Bus, SCSI Bus, LEDs, RA4000 Controller, Power Supply, System Fans, GBIC, and Fibre cable. The diagnostics also display information about the RA4000 Controller such as firmware revision, worldwide name, and board serial number. Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 The Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics is a group of hardware diagnostic tests designed to test the RA4000 Controller and attached SCSI drives. This is a subset of the normal Compaq Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 that executes on the Microsoft Windows 95/98 operating system. The first test mode is using a serial cable. It takes advantage of the built-in self test on the RA4000 controller to determine what subsystem is failing. The areas of test include: Cache, RAM, PCI Bus, SCSI Bus, LEDs, RA4000 Controller, Power Supply, System Fans, GBIC, and Fibre cable. The diagnostics also display information about the RA4000 Controller such as firmware revision, worldwide name, and board serial number. The second test mode is through the Fibre Channel. The diagnostic displays the RA4000 controllers and logical volumes found along with the configuration and firmware revisions. The test allows multiple logical volumes to be simultaneously exercised while trapping any error conditions. It is important to note this subset of the Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 can not co-exist with normal Compaq Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 potentially already installed. For the safest operation when switching between the two versions, be sure to uninstall the current version and install the desired version according to the procedures that follow. This ensures proper updating of the registry and other directories.

Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows CE
The Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows CE is a group of hardware diagnostic
tests designed to test the RA4000 Controller. It executes on the Windows CE operating system.
The test configuration uses a serial cable connected from the handheld computer to the RA4000
Controller. It takes advantage of the built-in self test on the array controller to determine what
subsystem is failing. The areas of test include: Cache, RAM, PCI Bus, SCSI Bus, LEDs,
RA4000 Controller, Power Supply, System Fans, GBIC, and Fibre cable. The diagnostics also
display information about the RA4000 Controller such as firmware revision, worldwide name,
and board serial number.
Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for
Windows 95/98
The Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics is a group of hardware diagnostic tests designed to test
the RA4000 Controller and attached SCSI drives. This is a subset of the normal Compaq
Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 that executes on the Microsoft Windows 95/98 operating
system. The first test mode is using a serial cable. It takes advantage of the built-in self test on
the RA4000 controller to determine what subsystem is failing. The areas of test include: Cache,
RAM, PCI Bus, SCSI Bus, LEDs, RA4000 Controller, Power Supply, System Fans, GBIC, and
Fibre cable. The diagnostics also display information about the RA4000 Controller such as
firmware revision, worldwide name, and board serial number. The second test mode is through
the Fibre Channel. The diagnostic displays the RA4000 controllers and logical volumes found
along with the configuration and firmware revisions. The test allows multiple logical volumes to
be simultaneously exercised while trapping any error conditions.
It is important to note this subset of the Compaq Fibre Channel Diagnostics for Windows 95/98
can not co-exist with normal Compaq Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 potentially already
installed. For the safest operation when switching between the two versions, be sure to uninstall
