The FIFO test reads and writes special test patterns to the internal FIFO on the network adapter and checks to see if the same patterns that went into the FIFO came back out. This test helps to verify that the adapter’s onboard FIFO memory is valid. If this test fails, it indicates that the FIFO is not working correctly. This test is limited to the adapters that allow read/write access to the FIFO directly.
Scenarios of EEPROM test pass/fail
Test |
Description |
PASS |
Diagnostic test passed. If the transmission through a network adapter still does not work, please check the network cable. |
FAIL |
Diagnostic test failed. Any of returned values indicate that the hardware is damaged and there is not a way to resolve this problem. It is suggested if it is possible to reinsert network adapter card in slot and if repeated diagnostic tests still fail please contact Intel Technical Support. |
