Test Description of Commands
T 80000106 Individual device testing. Loopbacks and removable media are
required. Runs system exerciser diagnostics on individual devices
(TEST 6 and TEST 7 are considered individual devices even
though they test several drives). This test allows you to test
individual devices by entering the test number of the device at a
second prompt. This individual testing saves time since you do not
have to wait for all of the other devices to finish testing.
When the exerciser is started, PRAO is displayed until the graphics circuits
start testing and the monitor flashes several times. The test results of the first
device are then displayed. The rest of the devices are then exercised one
at a time and the results are listed in the display. When the Jast device is
finished with its first test, the screen flashes again while the exerciser starts
testing all devices together at the same time. The results of all the tests are
then displayed for a short time before the exerciser starts running all devices
together again.
if TEST 0 or TEST 101 is entered, the exerciser stops after the last device is
done testing. The test results are displayed on the screen and a halt message
is displayed (06 lfl.,T INST).
If TEST 102 or TEST 80000106 is entered, the exerciser continues testing
until you press

1.4.2 System Exerciser Codes
The system exerciser displays the status of the devices on the screen as the
exerciser is running. Any errors found are
displayed in
the exerciser display.
When examining the exerciser display, a
' ?
in the far left column indicates
a soft error, a 11 indicates a hard error, and the absence of question marks
usually indicates success. There may be times when there are no question
marks, but a drive may not be listed in the display (for example, an unplugged
power cable). In these instances, you need to be familiar with the codes of all
devices so that when you examine the display, you know if a specific drive or
device is listed and if the drive or device has a fault.
