Running Diagnostics

Note – The SunFast Ethernet Adapter is not supported in Sundiag for Solaris
1.x.

The tests available for this device consist of a selftest and SunDiag.

C.1 Selftest

The SunFastEthernet selftest is a test that verifies correct operation of the SBus
card. The selftest consists of a suite of tests that reside in the FCcode PROM on
the card. The code is written in Forth programming language and can only be
run under OBP version 2.3 or later.

The SunFastEthernet Selftest does not automatically run after power on or
reset, but can be invoked by the user as necessary to acquire status of the
hardware.

As a Sun SPARCstation machine is powered up, the following banner will
appear. Check that the PROM version is 2.3 or later. If the system is set up to
automatically boot, press key combination L1-A to stop it. If the system is not
already at the ok prompt, select n for the new command mode to get to the ok
prompt.
