| | RocketPort Universal PCI Diagnostics and Utilities
You can create a Diagnostic diskette or CD to:
Confirm that the hardware is functioning. Determine resolutions to conflicts during installation. Perform a stress test on the ports.
For example, you may want to run the diagnostics stress test overnight to evaluate a possible problem.
You will need loopback plugs for each port that you want to test.
Copy the .iso file
to a temporary location.
Burn the image to a CD-ROM.
| Note |
---|
An .iso file cannot be copied onto a CD but must be burned using an application
that burns the image to the CD. If you do not have an application available,
you can use this freeware application. |
|
To run the diagnostic, you will need at least one loopback plug. A loopback plug was shipped with
the RocketPort Universal PCI. To build a loopback plug, see the
RocketPort Universal PCI Hardware Installation Guide Rev G. To start the diagnostic, reboot your system with the Diagnostics CD in the drive and follow the instructions in the diagnostic.
| Note |
---|
If the Diagnostic CD does not boot the PC,
you may need to change your BIOS settings so that the PC can boot from a CD drive. |
|
Use the following procedure to create a bootable diskette.
| Note |
---|
This procedure requires one blank diskette. |
|
Copy the diskette image file to a temporary location. Execute Rawrite.exe. When prompted for a file name, enter the diskette image file name; for example: 1800056g.i To run the diagnostic, you will need at least one loopback plug. A loopback plug was shipped with
the RocketPort Universal PCI. To build a loopback plug, see the
RocketPort Universal PCI Hardware Installation Guide [Rev G].
To start the diagnostic, reboot your system with the diskette in the drive and follow the instructions in the diagnostic.
