Diagnostics Window Layout
The Diagnostics Window consists of three panels: one along the left side, one at the
upper right, and one at the lower right. See Figure 4-3
Board Configuration
The panel along the left side identifies the board configuration of the Profile. Facing
the front of the PDR200, the board slots are numbered from left to right, J1 through
J17. A double hyphen (- -) in place of a board name indicates an empty slot. If the
board is not recognized by the diagnostics software, UNKNOWN BOARD TYPE
appears in the push-button. Slot J17 normally contains an RS-422 Interface board,
which is an ISA board not detectable with the EISA configuration check. Therefore,
slot J17 is labeled RS-422, if installed.
A Quit button is at the bottom of this panel. The button allows you to terminate
diagnostic testing at the completion of the test in progress.
Board Tests and Selection
The panel on the upper right is the board tests identification and selection panel. The
top of this panel initially reads No Board Selected. When a board is selected, the slot
number of the board and the name of the board appears at the top and test selection
push-buttons for that board appear in the panel.
Board Tests Results
The panel on the lower right will contain diagnostic reports generated by the system
processor when board tests are selected for execution. Note that i960 diagnostic report
window hides much of this panel during and after test execution. See ‘Executing Test
All Boards’, page 4-25, for additional information about this panel.
Running Board Diagnostics
There are two ways of running board diagnostics. One way tests all installed EISA
boards and the Motherboard in succession without user interaction. The second way
allows you to select specific boards for testing one at a time.
Note that diagnostics for the Audio Signal Processing Board (ASPB) include basic
testing of the Profile Audio Chassis, if connected.
