Device Tests
Quick Disk Test
This test will perform a non-destructive read/write on one block per track on the disk.
While this test runs, the power indicator light blinks green, and the panel displays “Quick Disk Test Testing...”.
This test cannot be canceled.
When the test finishes, the panel posts either “Quick Disk Test Test Passed” or “Quick Disk Test Test Failed”.
Disk Test/Clean
This test will perform a low-level format of the hard disk which will destroy all data on the disk and
which should never be performed on a good disk. In general, this test will only be used when the disk contains
bad data and is therefore unusable.
Note: Although this test’s length will depend on the disk size, in general, this can be an extremely lengthy test.
Note: When this test is completed, the disk is automatically initialized with a new file system. Therefore, it is not
necessary to format the disk. After this test is selected, the panel displays the message that appears in the
“Contents will be lost” Priority Selection Screen in Appendix B. To exit this test and return to the DEVICE TESTS
menu, the user selects “No”. This is the user’s only chance to exit this test; once the test has begun, it cannot be
stopped. While this test runs, the power indicator light blinks green, and the panel displays “Formatting Disk”.
Due to the nature of this test, it cannot be interrupted once it has begun. After the test finishes, the panel
indicates either “Disk Test/Clean Test Passed” or “Disk Test/Clean Test Failed”.
Flash Test
This test verifies the functioning of the flash device by writing data to it and by reading data from it. This test
destroys all data on the flash device.
Note: This test leaves the flash unformatted. The CE or user must reformat the flash using the Format Flash
operation in the Utilities Menu.
After this test is selected, the panel displays “Files will be Lost. Go/Stop?”. Press to confirm and continue
the test. To exit this test and return to the DEVICE TESTS menu, the user will select the “Stop” option on the
panel. This is the only opportunity a user will have to cancel this test. While this test runs, the power indicator
light blinks green, and the panel displays “Flash Test Testing...”.
At the completion of this test, the panel displays either “Flash Test Test Passed” or “Flash Test Test Failed”.
