Fixed disk advanced test (FDAT)
PC-Doctor’s (PCDR) Fixed-Disk Advanced Test module (FDAT) is a full-featured
highly configurable fixed-disk test suite. The configurable capabilities of FDAT
allow users to enable or disable specific tests, enable or disable testing features,
control the test log detail, alter testing parameters, etc. FDAT will test for and
report most commonly found errors on a fixed-disk drive and is able to test up to
128 SCSI and 4 IDE drives (up to 132 total drives). Drive information is gathered
through FDAT’s enumeration of available devices and user specific configuration
parameters located in the FDAT.INI. FDAT uses information supplied by these
features to indicate specifically what devices are available for test, what tests are
available for the device, device properties, etc. Modify the FDAT.INI file in PC
Doctor for DOS to change testing parameters
FDAT consists of the following subtests and features.
Fixed-Disk Tests:
v Seek Tests: - checks the physical operation of the drive head.
– Linear Seek
– Random Seek
– Min-Max Seek
– Butterfly Seek
Chapter 4. Diagnostics13
v Verify Tests: - checks the integrity of the data present on the media.
– Linear Verify
– Random Verify
v Surface Scan Tests: - checks the drive media for defects.
– Surface Scan (Linear)
– Surface Scan (Aggressive) - this is disabled for normal customer use.
– Surface Scan (Random)
v SMART: - checks the SMART functionality for drives that support SMART.
– Start SMART Self-Test
– Get SMART test results
Other Test Features:
v Write-Splice Repair - detects and corrects Error Correction Code errors during
Verify tests.
v Auto Spin Down - a gradual spin down of the drive platters to avoid damaging
the media.
v Manufacturer Log - an in-depth manufacturer supported log of errors on the
drive.
Multitasking:
To allow simultaneous testing of multiple hard drives whenever possible, the
FDAT module is written as a set of multitasking functions. Each drive under test
can run the same test or run a different test at the same time. Each subtest is
written to handle a single test pass and all test variables are kept track of in a
structure unique for each drive . However, when testing IDE drives, FDAT will not
perform simultaneous testing of IDE drives that are attached to the same IDE
cable. For example, if FDAT is testing four IDE drives on a PC, it will perform
simultaneous testing on drives 1 and 3 first (master drives), then perform tests on
2 and 4 (slave drives). FDAT will also perform simultaneous testing on a master
and slave that are on separate IDE cables, but will not perform simultaneous tests
on a master and slave on the same IDE cable. This generally increases the amount
of time needed to test multiple IDE drives. Another limitation of FDAT’S
multitasking capability is the use of Ultra DMA (UDMA). Only one drive at a time
can access the UDMA channel and the UDMA channel buffer must be kept high in
order to maintain a speed advantage over other data transfer modes. In order to
use the UDMA channel during testing, users must disable the multitasking feature.
Destructive vs non-destructive testing:
Most of the tests found in FDAT are non-destructive. This means that PCDR will
preserve any data that is present on the tested media prior to beginning any
destructive operations (i.e. write operations). However, users can run certain tests
in destructive mode (i.e. surface scan tests). Destructive tests will speed up testing
because FDAT does not preserve the data on the media prior to the test beginning.
Unlike non-destructive tests, any data present on the media prior to the test
beginning is lost. FDAT allows for enabling or disabling destructive tests, as well
as specifying a range of destructive and non-destructive sectors on the tested drive.
This is done through the configuration of the FDAT.INI .If destructive and
non-destructive ranges somehow overlap, then the overlapped area is considered
non-destructive. For example, if users specify both destructive and non-destructive
ranges as the same, then the entire drive is tested as non-destructive.

POST error codes
Each time you power-on the system, it performs a series of tests that check the
operation of the system and some options. This series of tests is called the
Power-On Self-Test,orPOST. POST does the following operations.
v Checks some basic system-board operations
v Checks the memory operation
v Starts the video operation
v Verifies that the diskette drive is working
v Verifies that the hard disk drive is working
If the POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds and the
first screen of the operating system or application program appears.
Note:
Type 6290 computers default to come up quiet (no beep and no memory count and
checkpoint code display) when no errors are detected by POST.
To enable beep and memory count and checkpoint code display when a successful POST
occurs, do the following:
1. Select Start Options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “IBM Setup
2. Set Power-On Self-Test to Enhanced.
Utility program” on page 9).
If the POST detects a problem, an error message appears on the screen. A single
problem can cause several error messages to appear. When you correct the cause of
the first error message, the other error messages probably will not appear on the
screen the next time you turn on the system.
In the following index, X can represent any number.

Security features
Security features in this section include the following:
v Passwords
v Vital Product Data
v Management Information Format (MIF)
v Alert on LAN
Passwords
The following section provides information about computer hardware and
software-related passwords.
v Power-on Password
v Administrator Password
v Operating System Password
Power-on and Administrator passwords are set in the Setup Utility program. See
“IBM Setup Utility program” on page 9 for information about running the Setup
Utility.
Power-on password
A power-on password denies access to the computer by an unauthorized user
when the computer is powered on. When a power-on password is active, the
password prompt appears on the screen each time the computer is powered on.
The computer starts after the proper password is entered.
Removing a power-on password
To service a computer with an active and unknown power-on password, power-off
the computer and use the following procedure.
Note: On some models, this procedure will also remove the administrator password.
1. Unplug the power cord and remove the top cover.
2. Refer to “Identifying parts on the system board” on page 25 to find the
recovery jumper.
3. Move the virtual clear CMOS jumper from normal to recovery.
4. Power-on the computer. The system senses the change in the position and
erases the password. Wait for the beeps. Power the system off and move the
jumper back to its original position.
5. Remind the user to enter a new password when service is complete.
Administrator password
The administrator password is used to restrict access to the Configuration/Setup
Utility program. If the administrator password is activated, and you do not enter
the administrator password, the configuration can be viewed but not changed.
Type 6290 computers have Enhanced Security Mode. If Enhanced Security mode is enabled
and there is no password given, the computer will act as if Enhanced Security is disabled.
If Enhanced Security is Enabled and an administrator password is given, the administrator
password must be entered to use the computer. If the administrator password is lost or
forgotten, the system board in the computer must be replaced in order to regain access to
the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Administrator password control
The Administrator password is set in the Setup Configuration. Refer to “IBM Setup
Utility program” on page 9.
Operating system password
An operating system password is very similar to a power-on password and denies
access to the computer by an unauthorized user when the password is activated.
The computer is unusable until the password is entered and recognized by the
computer.
Vital product data
Each computer has a unique Vital Product Data (VPD) code stored in the
nonvolatile memory on the system board. After you replace the system board, the
VPD must be updated. To update the VPD, see “Flash (BIOS/VPD) update
procedure” on page 85.
Management Information Format (MIF)
Management Information Format (MIF) is a file used to maintain a list of the
system unit serial number along with all serialized components (for example,
system board, riser card, memory, and processor).
At the time of computer manufacture, the EPROM will be loaded with the serial
numbers of the system and all major components. The customer will have access to
the MIF file via the DMI MIF Browser that is installed with the preload and is also
available on the SSCD that is provided with the system.
A company called Retain-a-Group is a central data warehouse offering serial
number data management. Retain-a-Group acts as a focal point to law
enforcement. The customer has the option to purchase serial number information
and services from Retain-a-Group. It is the customer’s responsibility to maintain
the MIF file and to inform Retain-a-Group of any changes to the file.
Some customers may request their servicers to assist them in maintaining the MIF
file when serialized components are replaced during hardware service. This
assistance is between the customer and the servicer. The servicer can use the DMI
MIF Browser to update the MIF information in the EPROM. It is anticipated that
some servicers might charge for this service.
To update the EPROM using the DMI MIF Browser, use the following procedure.
1. Click Start from the desktop, then Programs.
2. Select IBM SystemView Agent
3. Select the Serial Number Information icon
4. Click the plus sign to expand.
5. Select the component you want to view or edit.

88Hardware Maintenance Manual
Chapter 10. Related service information
Note: The service procedures are designed to help you isolate problems. They are
written with the assumption that you have model-specific training on all
computers, or that are familiar with the computers, functions, terminology,
and service information provided in this manual.
Safety information
The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar
with before servicing an IBM computer.
General safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
v Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after
maintenance.
v When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to
lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes
the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that
weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
v Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes
the equipment unsafe.
v Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the
customer’s personnel are not in a hazardous position.
v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel,
while you are servicing the machine.
v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over
it.
v Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a
machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows.
If your hair is long, fasten it.
v Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a
nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your
clothing.
Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
v Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire,
attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.
v Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
CAUTION:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be
hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the
attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before
you open the server/workstation covers, unless instructed otherwise in the
installation and configuration procedures.
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have
handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when
working with live electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that
contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do
not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
v Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or
electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch
or unplug the power cord quickly.
v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has
hazardous voltages.
v Disconnect all power before:
– Performing a mechanical inspection
– Working near power supplies
– Removing or installing main units
v Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot
unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the
machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.
v If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe
the following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.
Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if
necessary.
– Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment;
keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.
Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By
observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through
your body.
– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe
leads and accessories for that tester.
– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you
from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.
90Hardware Maintenance Manual
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages;
these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use
extreme care when measuring high voltages.
v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational
condition.
v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
v Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it
has been powered-off.
v Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these
hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges,
and missing safety grounds.
v Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental
mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and
machine damage.
v Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed
from their normal operating places in a machine:
– Power supply units
– Pumps
– Blowers and fans
– Motor generators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)
v If an electrical accident occurs:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.
Safety inspection guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe
conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had
required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury.
This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to
identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options
not covered by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent
hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the
problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
v Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can
cause serious or fatal electrical shock).
v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or bulging capacitor
v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware
The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks
with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
Chapter 10. Related service information91
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure
third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external
ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts
listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety
of any non-IBM alterations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings,
contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be
considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when
there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by
equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
Notes:
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted
here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO
9000) as fully effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
v Avoid contact with other people.
v Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
v Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and
retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.
v Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface.
The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
v Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that
meets the specific service requirement.
Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect
against ESD damage.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire
