Diagnostic Test Types

The tests performed by the TokenDisk diskette Configuration
and Diagnostic Program are divided into Group 1 and
Group 2 tests.

A lobe cable must be connected from the selected adapter to
a retiming concentrator or MAU for all tests.

Group 1 Diagnostics

Group 1 diagnostics test physical components, connectors,
and circuitry of the adapter. They include the following tests:

MMIO Register Write/Read Test

Boot PROM Test (if the Boot PROM is enabled)

AIP Checksum Test

Shared RAM Boundary/Domain Test

Shared RAM Write/Read Test

Timer Test

Open Adapter for Ring Operation Test

Ring Operations Test

Close Adapter Test

Each of these tests is explained in more detail below.

MMIO Register Write/Read Test

This test verifies that the PC can access the adapter’s memory
mapped I/O registers correctly.

Boot PROM Test

This test verifies that the PC can access the Boot PROM
correctly and verifies the integrity of the Boot PROM.
