Platform Confidence Test
The Platform Confidence Test (PCT) diagnostic utility is included on the
Intel
®
Server
System S7000FC4UR Server Deployment Toolkit
CD. It probes for the hardware at the
start of each test and reports the identified components. In this way, the PCT indirectly
identifies many assembly and cabling errors (broken or improperly seated cables) when
installed components are not reported. The test displays results for field replaceable units,
such as the processor modules, the server board, drives, and memory.
Three Platform Confidence Tests (PCT) are available. The duration of each test depends
on the number of processors and the amount of memory installed. On completion of each
test and after the test results are displayed, the program returns to the main menu.
Quick Test
The quick test checks the core components of the system to ensure they are functioning
properly. The test modules that are run during the quick test include:
Cache
MCH
Memory
Processor
Real-time clock
Comprehensive Test
The comprehensive test performs a thorough test of the system components. The test
modules that are run during the comprehensive test include:
Baseboard management controller
Cache
Graphics
Hard drives
