Testing the Adapter

This appendix describes how to test the adapter using either the SunVTS diagnostic
application or the onboard FCode self-test.

This appendix contains the following sections:

“Using the SunVTS Diagnostic Software” on page 81

“Using the OpenBoot PROM FCode Self-Test” on page 82

Using the SunVTS Diagnostic Software

The SunVTS software executes multiple diagnostic hardware tests from a single user
interface. It is used to verify the configuration and functionality of most hardware
controllers and devices. The SunVTS software operates primarily from a user
interface that enables you to set test parameters while the program performs
diagnostic test operations.

The following SunVTS tests can be used to test the SunATM adapter.

Note –

Do not run

nettest

and

atmtest

at the same time.
