Chapter 4 Using AXD Tools 23
Customizing AXD EFI Test Settings
You can customize AXD test settings in several ways by choosing which tests are run,
whether to loop tests, and whether to stop or continue testing when an error occurs.
To customize AXD EFI tools test settings:
1 In AXD EFI tools, select the test settings you want.
2 To run the test, click Test.
Clearing the Test Log
The test log contains all test messages that have occurred during the current AXD
session. If you quit AXD, the log is cleared.
To clear the test log without quitting AXD, click Clear Test Data.
Viewing the Hardware Profile
The hardware profile lists all hardware components in the Xserve.
You can view the hardware profile by choosing Hardware Profile > Display Hardware
Profile.
To do this Do this
Choose which tests are run In the Test Selections pane, do the following:
 To select a test, select the checkbox next to the test.
 To select a specific test within a category of tests, click the
disclosure triangle next to the category, and then select
individual tests.
 To select all tests, click Select All.
 To remove all tests, click Deselect All.
Loop all selected tests In the Controls pane, do the following:
 To loop all selected tests a specific number of times, select “Loop
# times” and replace # with the number of times to loop.
 To run all tests once, select “Loop # times” and replace # with the
number 1.
 To loop all tests for a specific amount of time, select “Loop for #
hours and # minutes” and replace # with number of hours and
minutes to loop. When the specified time is reached, the current
loop must complete before the tests stop. For example, if one
loop of your test set takes 2 hours to complete, and your
specified time is 3 hours, AXD stops testing in 4 hours. (Instead of
stopping at 3, it waits for the current test set loop to complete
before stopping.)
Change what to do when an
error occurs In the Controls pane, do the following:
 To stop testing when the first error occurs, select Stop On Error.
 To continue testing when errors occur, choose Continue On Error.
