9-2 Sun Blade 1500 Service, Diagnostics, and Troubleshooting Manual • December 2004
9.2.1 Connection Mode
When configured for connection mode, the SunVTS software makes a single testing
pass, checking for the existence of the item under test. Regardless of the test result,
output messages are displayed.
If a component fails a test in connection mode, check the connections of the
component. For example, if the DVD/CD-RW drive test
(c0t2d0s2(cddvdrwtest)) displays an error, check the cable connections on the
DVD/CD-RW drive and where those cables connect to the motherboard.
9.2.2 Connection Mode Component Testing
To test a specific component in connection mode, follow this procedure. Perform
steps 1 through 5, then use
TABLE 9-1 for step 6 and additional steps. If you want to
test more than one component, test one component at a time, then restart the
procedure from
Step 4 for the second and subsequent components.
Note – If you are going to test the optical drive, insert a known good optical media
disc into the drive before starting SunVTS. If a file manager window opens for the
disc, close it.
1. As superuser, open a terminal window and start the SunVTS software:
The SunVTS GUI is displayed.
2. From Select Test Mode, check Connection.
3. From System Map, check Logical.
4. From Select Devices, check None.
