Chapter 2. General Checkout

This general checkout procedure is for Type 6826, 8317, 8318, and 8319 computers.

Attention:

The drives in the computer you are servicing might have been rearranged or the drive startup sequence changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving or formatting. Data or programs can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.

Diagnostic error messages appear when a test program finds a problem with a hardware option. For the test programs to properly determine if a test Passed, Failed or Aborted, the test programs check the error-return code at test completion. See “Diagnostics” on page 12.

General error messages appear if a problem or conflict is found by an application program, the operating system, or both. For an explanation of these messages, refer to the information supplied with that software package.

Notes:

vType 6826, 8317, 8318, and 8319 computers default to come up quiet (no beep and no memory count and checkpoint code display) when no errors are detected by POST.

vTo 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 Utility program” on page 9).

2.Set Power-On Self-Test to Enhanced.

vBefore replacing any FRUs, ensure that the latest level of BIOS is installed on the system. A down-level BIOS might cause false errors and unnecessary replacement of the system board. For more information on how to determine and obtain the latest level BIOS, see “BIOS levels” on page 104.

vIf multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code displayed.

vIf the computer hangs with a POST error, go to ″Symptom-to-FRU Index″ on page 37.

vIf the computer hangs and no error is displayed, go to “Undetermined problems” on page 77.

vIf an installed device is not recognized by the diagnostics program, that device might be defective.

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:

vSeek Tests: - checks the physical operation of the drive head.

–Linear Seek

–Random Seek

–Min-Max Seek

–Butterfly Seek

vVerify Tests: - checks the integrity of the data present on the media.

–Linear Verify

Chapter 4. Diagnostics 13

–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)

vSMART: - checks the SMART functionality for drives that support SMART.

–Start SMART Self-Test

–Get SMART test results

Other Test Features:

vWrite-Splice Repair - detects and corrects Error Correction Code errors during Verify tests.

vAuto Spin Down - a gradual spin down of the drive platters to avoid damaging the media.

vManufacturer 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.

Accessing system board components and drives

To access some components on the system board such as memory, the battery, and the Clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper, it may be necessary to slide the diskette and CD drive tray outward to the front of the computer.

To access system board components or drives:

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 19.

3.Remove the screw securing the drive tray to the riser card support.

4.Press in on the drive tray buttons at each side as shown, and slide tray forward to access drives.

Notes:

a.It may be necessary to disconnect some cables attached to the drives to allow the drive tray to slide out far enough to access some system board components. To remove the drive tray completely, disconnect all the cables attached to the diskette and CD drives.

b.Make sure you note the location of any cables that you disconnect from the drives.

5.Slide the drive tray to the front just far enough to access the necessary system board component.

6.If any PCI adapters are installed, remove the PCI riser and adapter cards. Do not remove any adapters from the riser card.

Installing memory

Type 6826, 8317, 8318, and 8319 computers have two connectors for installing dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 2 GB of system memory.

When installing memory, the following rules apply:

vUse 2.5 V, 184-pin, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM), non-ECC DIMMs.

vUse 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB DIMMs in any combination.

Note: Only DDR SDRAM DIMMs can be used.

To install DIMMs:

1.Access the system board. See “Accessing system board components and drives” on page 22.

2.Locate the DIMM connectors. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on page 23.

3.Open the retaining clips.

4.Make sure the notch in the DIMM aligns with the tab on the connector. Push or insert the memory module straight down into the connector until the retaining clips close.

5.Slide the CD and diskette drive tray back into position and reconnect any cables that were disconnected. Insert the holding screw.

Note: Be sure to align the drive tray properly on the drive tray tracks, otherwise the drive tray will not sit properly, nor will the cover attach properly.

6.Replace the PCI riser and adapters if it was removed.
