Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
Power-On Diagnostic Tests
The Power-on diagnostics performs basic integrity tests of the
hardware to determine its functionality and configuration. If a
diagnostic test fails during hardware initialization the unit simply
stops. There are no messages sent to video.
You may try to restart the unit and run through the diagnostic tests a
second time to confirm the first shutdown.
The following table lists the tests that are performed on the t5000
units.
Power-On Diagnostic Test
Test
Description
Boot Block Checksum
Tests boot block code for proper
checksum value
DRAM
Simple write/read pattern test of
the first 640k of memory
Parallel port
Initiates the port’s driver and
determines if the device is
present
Serial port
Tests the serial port using simple
port verification test to determine
if ports are present
Timer
Tests timer interrupt by using
polling method
RTC CMOS battery
Tests integrity of RTC CMOS
battery
NAND Flash device
Tests for proper NAND flash
device ID present
