Immediate Burn-In Testing

The Immediate Burn-In Testing option enables you to run burn-in test scripts on
your workstation. Three scripts were created for testing your system:
quick.tst – This script performs a non-detailed test of all hardware
■
components, including those components that require user input, as well as a
more in-depth memory test. You must interact with the Pc-Check software to
progress through these interactive tests. These interactive tests cannot be run
unattended and do not contain any "timeout" facilities. The interactive tests will
wait until the user provides the correct input.
noinput.tst – This script is used as a first triage of any hardware-related
■
problems or issues. The script performs a non-detailed test of most hardware
components, excluding those components that require user input (keyboard,
mouse, sound, video). This test does not require user input.
full.tst – This script performs the most detailed and comprehensive test on all
■
hardware components, including those components which require user input.
This script contains a more in-depth memory test than quick.tst, as well as
external port tests (which might require loopback connectors). You must interact
with the test utility to progress through these interactive tests.
Tip – Each of these scripts tests the operating status of your entire system. If you
want to test only a certain percentage of your system's hard drives, refer to
Section 4.4.1, "Hard Disk Drive Testing" on page 4-6
When you select the Immediate Burn-in Testing menu option, the Continuous Burn-
in Testing window displays. The screen includes the list of options shown in
