Platform Confidence Test

The Platform Confidence Test (PCT) diagnostic utility is included on the Intel
System S7000FC4UR Server Deployment Toolkit CD. It probes for the hardware at the
start of each test and reports the identified components. In this way, the PCT indirectly
identifies many assembly and cabling errors (broken or improperly seated cables) when
installed components are not reported. The test displays results for field replaceable units,
such as the processor modules, the server board, drives, and memory.
Three Platform Confidence Tests (PCT) are available. The duration of each test depends
on the number of processors and the amount of memory installed. On completion of each
test and after the test results are displayed, the program returns to the main menu.
