SMBIOS Memory Tests
Test
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.
ECC Memory Tests
Test
Estimated completion time
Description
ECC Error Count
1 second
Reports the number of
ECC errors, and then resets
the count.
Power Supply Tests
Test
Estimated completion time
Description
Good
1 second
Checks if the power supply’s
good bit is set. If it’s not set, this
could indicate that the power
supply isn’t seated well or is bad,
or that there’s no AC connected.
Quick
5 seconds
This is available only if you have
more than one power supply.
This turns off the redundant
power supplies so that only one
is run on.
Sensor Tests
When AXD Mac OS X tools starts, it performs a hardware existence test. All sensors
found during this test can be tested individually using sensor tests.
