(Optional) The bootup SRAM diagnostics log all failures and remove all
affected buffers from the hardware operation. The ongoing SRAM
diagnostics will log events, but will take no other action.
(Optional) The SRAM diagnostics operate as in conservative mode,
except that an ongoing failure resets the supervisor engine. This action
allows for the bootup tests to map out the affected memory.
(Optional) The SRAM diagnostics operate as in normal mode, except
that a bootup failure only logs failures and does not allow the supervisor
engine to come online. This action allows for either a redundant
supervisor engine or network-level redundancy to take over.
