Platform Confidence Test User Guide

Using the Intel Server Board Platform Confidence Test

To begin the Platform Confidence Tests boot the server from the bootable media described

above. The system displays the menu below.

Note: The

“PCT v4.2; Telco S5x00x v1.05” in the title of the screen will be replaced by the name of the

board being tested. “Ver. X” will be replaced by the Version number of the test package.

The “Comprehensive Test” option is highlighted by default. When one of the first two options is

selected, the test system probes the hardware to determine which tests in the suite are applicable

to the current hardware configuration.

Selecting the option Display Help Text results in a display of the help text file for the test options.

Selecting EXIT saves the test results in a RESULT.LOG file and returns you to the DOS prompt.

Typing testmenu

at the prompt will restart the menu system.

Select the test desired with the cursor and press <ENTER>

. If the system under test is not

supported by the Platform Confidence Test package being used, the following message is

displayed:

This motherboard is not supported by this Platform Confidence Test.

Press any key to exit.

The hardware configuration test will begin. Upon completion, a configuration summary is

displayed. Below is an example of the hardware configuration results for the “Comprehensive

“Test.” The results for the “Quick Test” are similar, but not as detailed. Test results will vary,

depending on the system configuration.
