Display Hardware
These diagnostic test patterns verify that all
wiring connections are made properly and
that all hardware components are working
correctly. During the tests, the processor
sends modifiers to the PLR systems every five
seconds, triggering the display modules to turn
red or green.
Green modules indicate a pass status and red
modules indicate a fail status. Modules with
connection issues will turn red.
After choosing the test parameters, click
Run
to start the test. Once the test is complete,
click
Stop
After either starting or stopping the test, a
Successfully updated test patterns
message
opens in a green banner across the top of the
screen.
Note:
For complete test results, run each test a few times making corrections in
between tests.
Device
Select the device type from the drop-down list. Choose
Display Interface (ProLink 6)
to
test the display’s ProLink 6 PLR signal connections and firmware versions. Choose
Module
(ProLink 5)
to test the ProLink 5 connections on the modules and firmware versions.
Test to Run
Select the desired hardware test from the drop-down list. Refer to
.
• Signal Backbone - Port A Health
- available
for the
Display Interface (ProLink 6)
device type only, this tests the ProLink 6
connections via fiber Port A on the PLRs.
If the fiber going into Port A on a PLR is
disconnected, the module(s) connected
to that PLR will turn red. If the PLR has
proper connection and communication
via Port A, the module(s) connected to that PLR will turn green.
• Signal Backbone - Port B Health
- available for the
Display Interface (ProLink 6)
device type only, this tests the ProLink 6 connections via fiber Port B on the PLRs. If the
fiber going into Port B on a PLR is disconnected, the module(s) connected to that
PLR will turn red. If the PLR has proper connection and communication via Port B, the
module(s) connected to that PLR will turn green.
• Output to Module - Port A Health
- tests the SATA Port A on the PLR. If the SATA Port A
is connected to the modules properly, all the modules will turn green. If SATA Port A is
not connected to the modules correctly, all the modules will turn red.
• Output to Module - Port B Health
- tests the SATA Port B on the PLR. If the SATA Port B
is connected to the modules properly, all the modules will turn green. If SATA Port B is
not connected to the modules correctly, all the modules will turn red.
