Use the set boot device boot_sequence module_number mem-test-full command to enable a full
memory test. The full memory test takes about 12 minutes.

Step 1 Log in to the console.
Step 2 Enter privileged mode:
console> enable
Step 3 Enable the full memory test:
console> (enable) set boot dev cf:1 3 mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable = cf:1
Memory-test set to FULL
Warning: Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
console> (enable) set boot dev hdd:1 3 mem-test-full
Device BOOT variable = hdd:1
Memory-test set to FULL
Warning: Device list is not verified but still set in the boot string.
console> (enable)
The set boot device command can either contain cf:1 or hdd:1.
Reset IDSM-2.
