Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the hardware and the
firmware including tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and
cables in use.
Initiate diagnostic tests with the command line using a Telnet session or a terminal set up with a
serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables to
allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. For
information on available diagnostic tests, enter diagHelp.
All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps.
NOTE
Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic
testing.
