Extended Memory Tests

Extended memory tests test all available memory.

In AXD EFI tools, all memory tests (simple, multicore, and extended) are grouped under
Memory tests.

The availability of extended memory tests depends on the Xserve model you test.

Note: The time required to complete memory tests correlates to the size of memory
being tested. These estimates are based on testing 1 GB of memory.

Estimated completion time

Description

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.
