3  Tests and Diagnostics 
 
3.7 Memory 
Test 
To execute the Memory Test, select 
2
 from the DIAGNOSTIC TEST MENU, press 
Enter
 
and follow the directions on the screen. Move the highlight bar to the subtest you want to 
execute and press 
Enter
Subtest 01 
Conventional memory 
This subtest writes a constant data to conventional memory (0 to 640 KB), 
then reads the new data and compares the result with the original data.  
Subtest 02 
Protected Mode  
NOTE: The CONFIG.SYS file must be configured without expanded memory manager 
programs such as EMM386.EXE, EMM386.SYS or QEMM386.SYS. Also, the 
HIMEM.SYS must be deleted from the CONFIG.SYS file. 
This subtest writes constant data and address data (from 1MB to maximum 
MB), and reads the new data and compares the result with the original data.  
Subtest 03 
Protected Mode (Cache off) 
 
This subtest executes the same test as the subtest 02 with the cache off. 
Subtest 04 
Cache Memory (on/off) 
To test the cache memory, a pass-through write-read comparison of ‘5Ah’ 
data is run repeatedly to the test area (‘7000’:’Program’ size to ‘7000’:’7FFF’ 
(32 KB)) to check the hit-miss ratio (on/off status) for CPU cache memory. 
One test takes 3 seconds.  
Number of misses 
< Number of hits → OK 
Number of misses 
≥ Number of hits → Fail 
Subtest 05 
Stress 
Data (from 1MB to the maximum MB) is written from the 16KB write buffer 
to the 16KB read buffer and compared the data in the buffers. The read buffer 
starts from 0001 and the comparison is continued with the following read 
buffer addresses: 0001, 0003, 0005, 0007, 0009, 000b, 000d and 000f.
