Test Components

Hardware and software tests can be performed on the following components:

Controllers may be connected to the host through PCI, I2C or serial port. The component also captures any associated configuration information, and provides the ability to verify proper operation of these devices.

SCSI and IDE Drive Self Test: The offline self tests are actually performed by the drive itself using test capabilities embedded in the drive firmware. The Short Offline Self Test performs limited testing and threshold checking, while the Extended Offline Self Test also performs a complete surface analysis.

A list of available tests for each test component and a list of error codes can be accessed through the Test Component and Error Codes menu selections on the Help tab menu bar.
