These tests run when you start up Server Diagnostics Mac OS X.

Test

Estimated completion time

Description

Hardware Existence

1 second

Compares a table of sensors and
fans with what’s connected to
the logic board. If a sensor or
fan isn’t found, an error occurs.
Sensors, and hard drives found
can be individually tested using
sensor, hard drive tests.

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. The SMBIOS test
reports these mapped-out
DIMMS.
