Using the DOS Diagnostic Utility for Preliminary Testing

The diagnostic program performs preliminary analysis of the HBA before displaying

a. SLIM memory test
b. BIU register test
c. BIU configuration registers test
3. Reports pass or fail status messages.
4. Resets the HBAs.
5. Checks Power-On Self Test (POST) status of HBAs.
6. Reports revision levels of diagnostic and functional firmware.
7. Displays the resources of each HBA.
