P.H.D. MiniPCI is an advanced diagnostics board that can be used by service technicians, system integrators & developers to perform sophisticated diagnostic testing on MiniPCI bus systems with Intel compatible processors.
P.H.D. MiniPCI allows you to perform component/circuit level diagnostics on a system and view testing progress and results on the system's monitor. Once installed into a MiniPCI slot, P.H.D. MiniPCI will perform a series test of diagnostics targeting the proper functionality of the PCI Bus.
No More Swapping / Guessing
Troubleshooting systems can be a time consuming and tedious process without the right test equipment and trial and error methods such as swapping components doesn’t guarantee that the problem has been resolved and won’t reoccur. Utilizing direct hardware-to-hardware methods, circuit diagnostics such as:
MiniPCI Bus, processor(s), hard drive controllers, ATAPI device controller, Memory/RAM controllers, DMA controllers, page registers, keyboard controller, interrupt controllers, timers, CMOS clock, and many other peripheral support chips can be accurately tested.
More Than a POST Card
Unlike P.O.S.T. cards that merely display POST error codes, P.H.D. MiniPCI is an actual diagnostic card that performs a series of dynamic diagnostics to verify proper operation of system components. In addition to the onboard firmware, system power supply +3.3v & 3.3v auxiliary voltages, RESET, and CLOCK can be monitored using on-board LEDs. Voltages are measured within 2% fluctuations. Lastly, onboard dual POST displays provide troubleshooting assistance for motherboards that fail to complete POST.
Proven Technology
P.H.D. MiniPCI loads from an onboard FLASH ROM and does not require any external booting devices or operating system. An operating system free environment eliminates any conflicts or interference from drivers, TSR’s and other items from the software layer that may occur during testing and provides a clean environment for precise and accurate testing. With industry-proven and proprietary technology, P.H.D. MiniPCI is the single solution for any System Designer, Manufacturer, or Service and Repair shop.
The comprehensive motherboard testing of the P.H.D. MiniPCI card combined with outstanding peripheral testing make P.H.D. MiniPCI the single best tool for portable PC's on the market today.

"FAST & EASY LAPTOP DIAGNOSTICS"
"On paper, P.H.D. MiniPCI could serve the needs of any organization that could benefit from a more efficient way to diagnose laptop hardware glitches. In these times of diminishing margins and constantly rising cost pressures, notebook manufacture service departments, for example, must make optimal use of working time. The first professional hardware diagnostic card, the P.H.D MiniPCI from Ultra-X, is a solid first effort towards achieving this critical goal.
As we experienced firsthand in our tests, this card makes troubleshooting hardware failures and defects on portable devices easier than ever: just plug it into a free mini PCI slot , turn on your notebook and sit back and let it do its job. Since the card functions as a boot device, you don't even need a hard drive with an operating system . The card also performs well as a burn-in and memory stress tester."
