Setting Test Parameters; Interpretting Results; Getting Help On Individual Tests; Viewing System Configuration - HP Integrity rx4610 User Manual

Chapter 16
Because of space limitations, the test area of the screen displays only eight of the ten tests at a time. Using
the arrow keys will cause the test display to scroll completely through the list.
NOTE You must select all the tests you want to run before you run the tests (highlighting and
executing the application option).

6. SETTING TEST PARAMETERS

You can define two parameters for test execution: loops and test time. A loop completes when all enabled
tests execute once. Test time starts with execution of the first loop and runs continuously as long as tests are
being executed.
To set the loop count or execution time, use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate parameter and then
press the <Enter> key. The application presents a dialog box in which you can enter the data (number loops
or time in minutes). Entering a zero for either parameter causes the application to ignore the parameter.
Running a set of selected tests always causes the application to complete at least one loop. Upon completion
of each loop, the application checks to see if more loops are required and also checks to see if execution time
has exceeded the test time parameter. If all of loops have been executed or if execution time has exceeded the
test time parameter, test execution halts.

7. INTERPRETTING RESULTS

Test results appear next to the enabled tests in the test area of the screen. Each time a test passes or fails
during a loop, the appropriate pass or fail count increments. For failed tests, Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)
information also appears under the "Details" column.
If you want greater detail for the test run, view the test log file. For information on how to view the test log
file, refer to Section 10.
To clear test results, you must exit the Platform Diagnostics application.

8. GETTING HELP ON INDIVIDUAL TESTS

To display on-line help text files for a particular test, use the arrow keys to highlight the desired test and then
press the <F1> key. The application presents a scrollable text file that describes the sub-tests for the
highlighted test.

9. VIEWING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

To view system configuration, use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate option and press the <Enter>
key. It does not matter if you have tests enabled when you view system configuration.
After pressing the <Enter> key, the application displays a scrollable information box that contains system
information.

10. VIEWING THE TEST LOG

By default, the diagnostic software keeps the log file in "EFI\INTEL\SERVICE\DIAGNOSTICS" in a file
named "FIELDDIAGS.LOG." To view this file, use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate option and
press the <Enter> key. It does not matter if you have tests enabled when you view the test log.
After pressing the <Enter> key, the application displays a scrollable information box that contains the
sessions test log. Because the log file is a Unicode file, you can also view it in the EFI shell by using the
"type -u" command, and in the Windows operating system using the Notepad application.
When you start a new diagnostics session, the software deletes the existing default log file
(FIELDDIAGS.LOG) in the directory "EFI\INTEL\SERVICE\DIAGNOSTICS." Consequently, if you want
