Boots
DEAD Boards |
|
Ability
to boot boards without the need for POST support. PHD' s on-board
components help initialize system boards that fail to boot
and displays on the screen exactly which components have failed
or are incompatible. |
 |
On-board
Firmware |
|
For
active and proficient diagnostic testing of system boards.
Components are individually tested to detect failures, intermittent
errors or incompatibility. |
 |
Exhaustive
Testing |
|
P.H.D..
s hardware and firmware design allows for complete testing
of every function on every motherboard component. Accuracy
and features unmatched by any other product including POST
products. |
 |
Video
Support |
|
On-board
video port, allows test results to be viewed on monitor even
when systems own video card is dead or missing. |
 |
Burn-In |
|
Allows
for testing of specific devices for a period of time. Results
can be printed and test script can be saved for later use.
|
 |
Base
RAM |
|
Performs
numerous different patterns of tests. Also provides graphic
display to pinpoint exact location of failure. |
 |
|
|
Capable
of testing up to two gigabytes of RAM. Users may select the
exact starting and ending address with disregard to CMOS settings.
Twelve algorithm patterns and graphic mapping identify the
exact failing module or chip. Newly
improved to test the latest DDR & RDRAM DIMMs. |
 |
Cache
RAM |
|
True
cache RAM testing by determining the existence of Cache RAM
and the exact amount (up to 2 megabytes). Multiple pattern
algorithms are performed for accurate and reliable testing. |
 |
CD
ROM |
|
Provides
complete testing for EIDE CD ROMs without the need for loading
drivers. Tests are performed using direct hardware interrogation
techniques. Drives up to 60x supported. |
 |
Pass/Fail/Skip
Indicators |
|
Indicates
the results of each test in both normal and extended modes. |
 |
Status
LEDs |
 |
Indicate
whether voltage is within +/- 5 % in addition to monitoring
the reset line. |
 |
Port
Button |
|
Used
to monitor the offset addresses when running P.H.D. PCI in
POST mode. |
 |
7-Segment
Display |
|
Allows
monitoring of POST codes when booting and shows diagnostic
subtest number that is currently being executed. |
 |
PCI
Bus Testing |
|
Finally,
a simple and cost effective way of testing the PCI bus and
its components. It is the only "affordable" hardware device
that will actively test the specific PCI components (PCI version
only) |
 |
Hard
Drive |
|
Non-data
destructive testing of hard drives. Allows for testing of
up to seven drives as well as testing of drive controllers.
Complete Floppy drive testing with Cleaning function. |
 |
|
|
Will
automatically run continuous test loops for every motherboard
function. Test configuration is available using on-board switches,
perfect for complete Burn-In of critical systems. |
 |
Flash
/ ASIC Technology |
|
Uses
the latest in Flash EPROM and ASIC chip technology. The card
can be upgraded via software, complete upgrade takes less
than two minutes. ASICs allow the latest in hardware design
for support of the most current systems with highest accuracy
and reliability. |
 |
Bus
/ CPU Benchmarking |
|
Accurately
measures (results are routed to monitor) speed of Bus Signals
for performance and compatibility issues. Precisely measures
signals such as: CLK, OSC, BALE, RAM Refresh rate. Works on
ANY PC equipped with an Intel, AMD and Cyrix processor using
a PCI bus. |
 |
Fully
Automated |
|
Simply
insert the card in the system and power on. PHD will run a
continuous series of diagnostics without user intervention. |
 |
Critical
RAM Testing |
|
Tests
Critical RAM without using any of the motherboard installed
memory. True low memory testing from address 0 to
1024k. Also tests Gate A-20, memory address / data
lines, and refresh circuit. (Will display complete test results
even without ANY installed Memory) |
 |
I/O
Port Monitor |
|
Monitors
all I/O ports from 0 to 3FFH, to notify users as to which
locations are either used or available. Perfect for resolving
I/O conflicts. |
 |
Video |
|
Complete
testing for video cards. Automatically tests all video modes
for driver conflicts. Provides full video RAM testing up to
32 megabytes. |
 |
LPT
and COM Ports |
|
Tests
all serial and parallel ports. Provide pin-level results of
failures as well as selection of internal or external testing.
Includes; loopbacks for each port. |
 |
System
Board testing |
|
Continuous
loop testing verifies proper operation of CPU, FPU, DMA channels,
interrupts, timers, BIOS, keyboard, and other I/O functions. |
 |
RTC/CMOS
RAM |
|
Tests
7 critical functions of the RTC chip including clock accuracy. |
 |
|
|
Detects
Power Supply problems or fluctuations within 5%. This is especially
critical for newer systems that are sensitive to power supply
fluctuations. |
 |
CPU
Failures |
|
Automatically
displays power up failures due to Reset or CLK line failures. |
 |
Data
Logging |
|
All
tests results may be routed to a printer. |
