Option Name Description
1) DRAM Test - Powerup This memory test option runs the same memory test that 
is executed during power-up. This is a very short RAM 
test. An LED is lit for each 256k location tested. Once 
started, the test runs to completion and alerts you of 
pass or fail.
2) DRAM Test - Rigorous This memory test option runs a memory test that writes 
a pattern of values to memory. This is a much more 
intense test than the power-up test. An LED is lit for 
each 128K locations tested. Once started, the test runs 
to completion and alerts you of pass or fail.
3) Async Port Tests This port module/asynchronous port test enables testing 
of all async ports. The diagnostics can perform an 
internal or external loopback test.
This function presents the following options:
 “I)nternal, E)xternal, or B)oth?” 
Type I. The function then begins the tests which 
continue until you press the Esc key on the console.
External loopback tests are done only in the factory and 
require a special connector.
4) 10BaseT Loopback Test This Ethernet test performs a local loopback of the 
10BaseT and does not put packets on the network. This 
test is run in one-hundred iteration groups and stops at 
the completion of one test.
5) Reset Test Counters This Ethernet test clears the port module and 10BaseT 
test accumulators. The memory test accumulators are 
not cleared. 
6) Test Summary This option displays the results of the above five tests.
7) Display Configuration This option displays the following chassis configuration 
information:
•
Base DRAM size (1MB for 3883-8 and 3883-16 
and 4MB for 3884 and 3885 models) 
•
Expansion SIMM DRAM size
•
Flash memory installed
•
System clock rate
8) Display Boot Config 
Flash
This option displays the following nonvolatile random 
access memory (NVRAM) configuration information:
•
Media access control (MAC) address
•
Option flags
•
Application code checksum
•
OEM tags
