Test

Estimated completion time

Description

Boot ROM Headers and Data
Checksum

15 seconds

Verifies headers and data
checksum for all firmware
volume regions throughout
the Boot ROM.

Verify BOF Flash with CRC

1 second

Verifies that the low and high
limits for testing sensors are
correctly set.

SMBIOS Self-Test

1 second

Checks the SMBIOS tables for
32-bit errors (type 18) and 64-
bit errors (type 33). Also verifies
that the mapped-in DIMM size
is appropriate for the slot it’s
inserted into. If there’s a size
mismatch, an error occurs.
When the server tests memory
at startup, it maps out bad
memory. This mapped-out
memory is hidden from the
system and diagnostics so the
non-SMBIOS memory tests don’t
test it. The SMBIOS test reports
these mapped-out DIMMS.
