4.1.6.2 Recommended BIOS/CPU/Memory Test Procedures
This test is to ensure proper operation of the product before and after environmental stresses, with
the thermal mechanical enabling components assembled. The test shall be conducted on a fully
operational motherboard that has NOT been exposed to any battery of tests prior to the test being
considered.
Testing setup should include the following components, properly assembled and/or connected:
• Appropriate system motherboard
• Processor
• All enabling components, including socket and thermal solution parts
• Power supply
• Disk drive
• Video card
• DIMM
• Keyboard
• Monitor
The pass criterion is that the system under test shall successfully complete the checking of BIOS,
basic processor functions and memory, without any errors. Intel PC Diags is an example of
