What is Tested
Although the following list varies slightly for different OmniBook products, the basic
tests typically include the following:
Basic Functionality Tests, to verify the correct functioning of the processor and
subsystems:
Basic processor functionality
Processor speed
Coprocessor
DMA controller
Interrupt controller
Timer and real time clock
CMOS
PCI system
USB
Memory Tests, to check the correct functioning of main and cache memory:
BIOS ROM
Pattern Test
Address
Refresh
Cache memory
IDE hard disk drive, to check the basic functioning of any IDE hard disk drives:
Quick random read-verify/seek
Boot sector
SCSI hard disk drive, to check the basic functioning of any SCSI hard disk drives:
Quick random read-verify/seek
Boot sector
Keyboard tests:
Keyboard controller
Keyboard clock line
Keyboard data line
Other tests:
Basic serial port test (does not include data transfer – this is an advanced
test)
Basic parallel port test
