providing displayable test patterns. Through a series of menus the user selects the display
type and test pattern. After the selections are made the test pattern is displayed.
Generic Microcode Download
This service aid provides a means of restoring a diskette (or other media) and executing a
restored program. This program will do whatever is required to download the microcode
onto the adapter or device.
This service aid is supported in both concurrent and standalone modes from disk, LAN, or
loadable media.
When entered, this service aid will display information about what it does, it will then ask for
a microcode diskette to be inserted into the diskette drive. The diskette will be in backup
format. The service aid will restore the diskette to the /tmp directory and execute a program
called genucode. Once genucode has completed, it will return you to the service aid.
