Running ODE-Based Diagnostics

The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists
of diagnostic modules for testing and verifying system
operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions
for the user to load specified tests and interact with
those tests.
ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:
1 Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk.
2 Type ode after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from
the LIF directory on the system disk. The prompt chang-
es to ODE>.
Not all of the test modules are available on all sys-
tems. To see what test modules are available to run on
this system, type ls at the ODE> prompt. The available
modules include the following:
• lasidiag- tests and verifies the core-I/O functionality
within the LASI chip. The diagnostics test the SCSI
interface, LAN interface logic, parallel interface, audio,
RS-232, PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface, real time
clock, and the PC floppy interface and drive.
• memtest - tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an
error is detected, the diagnostic reports the memory card
and its slot number that needs replacement. Memtest also
provides a map of the memory configuration so that the
user can identify the type of memory and its slot location.
• update - updates the system's Processor Dependent
Code (PDC) firmware on the FEPROM.
