(a) Control Registers
This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network
controller registers by writing various values to the registers and
verifying the result. The device driver uses these registers to
perform network functions such as sending and receiving information.
If the test fails, the network adapter may not work properly.
(b) Serial Programmable Read Only Memory (SPROM) Format Validation
This test verifies the content of the SPROM by reading a portion of the
SPROM and computing the checksum. The test fails if the computed
checksum is different than the checksum stored in the SPROM.
(c) Memory Tests
This test verifies that the network controller internal memory is functioning
properly. The test writes patterned values to the memory and reads
back the results. The test fails if an erroneous value is read back. The
network controller will not function without its internal memory.
