SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ******************************************************************************** 1. The system must contain an Intel(R) Processor and one of the following Intel products: - Intel(R) C600 Series Chipset 2. The system must support one of the following operating systems: - MS-DOS* ******************************************************************************** * 3. Executing the Test ******************************************************************************** 1. Enable the SCU RAID Option ROM from system BIOS. 2. Make sure there are hard drives attached to at least two SCU ports controlled by the Intel(R) I/O Controller Hub. 3. There is no need to create any RAID volumes in order to execute this test. 4. From a DOS prompt, enter the following c:\RCmpScu.exe You may have the utility redirect the results to a text file by using the following command: c:\RCmpScu > test1.txt ******************************************************************************** * 4. Explanation of Tests Run by RCmpScu ******************************************************************************** RCmpScu initially displays several informational sections before running tests: PCI Configuration Space The PCI Configuration Space registers of the SCU PCI device are shown. RAID Option ROM Version Information The compiled features in the Intel(R) SCU RAID Option ROM are shown. BIOS INT 15h SCU OEM Parameters The BIOS INT15h OEM parameter table is displayed and checked for validity. This test displays the table exactly as provided by the BIOS INT 15h call. Refer to RSTe EFI/OROM Tables document - OEM Parameter Structure Format for a description of the table format. RAID Option ROM SCU OEM Parameters The OEM parameter table from the Option ROM header is displayed and checked for validity. This test displays the table after modification by the preboot software to set the Preboot Source field. Refer to RSTe EFI/OROM Tables document - OEM Parameter Table Structure Format and OEM Parameter Structure Format for a description of the table format. After the informational sections, the following tests are executed: 1. Intel(R) SCU Controller Presence Tests 1.1 Intel(R) Chipset Detected Checks for the Intel(R) Vendor ID in the MCH and ICH. Dev00:F0:Reg00h[15:00] = 0x8086 Dev31:F0:Reg00h[15:00] = 0x8086 Severity: HIGH 1.2 SCU Controller BDF Displays the PCI bus, device, and function of the SCU controller, if found. Severity: HIGH 1.3 SCU Controller DevID Checks for the proper Device ID for the Intel(R) SCU Controller. Expected value: one of 0x1D60, 0x1D61, 0x1D64, 0x1D65, 0x1D68, 0x1D69, 0x1D6A, 0x1D6B Severity: HIGH 1.4 SCU Feature Config Tag Checks for the feature config tag assigned to the SCU Device ID. Severity: Status Only 1.5 SCU Silicon Revision Checks for a known silicon revision of the SCU Controller. Severity: HIGH 2. PnP Installation Tests 2.1 $PnP Anchor String Present in 0xF000 Segment Searches for the "$PnP" string in the PnP header, as defined in the Plug and Play Bios Specification. The RAID Option ROM requires PnP support to function. Severity: HIGH 2.2 PnP Header Checksum Valid Calculates an 8-bit checksum over the PnP Header to make sure the reported checksum is correct. Severity: HIGH 3. BBS Enabled BIOS Tests 3.1 PCI BIOS Present (INT 1A, Func 0xB101) Checks for successful return from the call to Int 1Ah, Func 0xB101. Severity: HIGH ***Tests 3.2 and 3.3 are shown only if test 3.1 was successful*** 3.2 PCI BIOS Version Displays the major version, located in the BH register, and the minor version, located in the BL register, after a successful return from the INT 1A, Func 0xB101 call. Severity: Status Only 3.3 PCI BIOS Version Supports OROM PCI Version Verifies the major version returned from test 3.2 is equal or greater than the PCI Version specified in the OROM Header. Severity: HIGH 4. Intel(R) SCU RAID Option ROM Tests 4.1 Option ROM Found in BIOS Compatibility Segments Searches segments 0xC000 through 0xF000 to see if the Intel(R) SCU RAID Option ROM is present. Severity: HIGH ***Tests 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 are shown only if test 4.1 was successful*** 4.2 Option ROM Size Displays the size of the Intel(R) SCU RAID Option ROM that was located. Severity: Status Only 4.3 Option ROM Checksum Valid Calculates an 8-bit checksum over the Option ROM to make sure the reported checksum is correct. Severity: HIGH 4.4 Main Memory Size < 639kB Checks that the Option ROM has consumed the portion of conventional memory that it needs. Severity: HIGH 5. System BIOS Tests 5.1 BIOS Updating INT 15h E820 Memory Map Checks that the E820 Memory Map is consistent with the EBDA pointer located at 40:0E. When the RAID Option ROM loads, it claims a portion of memory immediately below EBDA. It also updates the EBDA pointer at 40:0E. It is expected that BIOS detect this change after the RAID Option ROM exits and update the memory map to show that this memory is now reserved. Failing this test has the potential to cause software compatibility issues. Severity: LOW ***Test 5.2 is shown only if test 4.1 was successful*** 5.2 BIOS Reporting Correct Base Memory Size in 40:13 Checks that the conventional memory size reported at 40:13 is consistent with the EBDA pointer located at 40:0E. When the RAID Option ROM loads, it claims a portion of memory immediately below EBDA. It also updates the EBDA pointer at 40:0E. It is expected that BIOS detect this change after the RAID Option ROM exits and update the available memory size at 40:13. Failing this test has the potential to cause software compatibility issues. Severity: HIGH 6. Intel RAID Version Table Tests 6.1 Version Table Present Checks that the Option ROM has exported its version table in its runtime header. If this test fails, the Option ROM has not loaded, or the Option ROM runtime space has been overwritten. Severity: HIGH 6.2 Version Table Valid Checks that the version table found in 6.1 contains valid version data. Severity: HIGH 7. SCU OEM Parameter Tests 7.1 BIOS INT 15h OEM Parameters Present Checks that the BIOS-provided INT 15h AX=0F300h function is implemented in the BIOS. Severity: HIGH 7.2 BIOS INT 15h OEM Parameters Valid Checks that the parameters retrieved in test 7.1 are valid and self- consistent. All structure sizes and versions are checked against the expected version, and port and PHY configuration is checked for consistency. Severity: HIGH 7.3 OROM OEM Parameters Present Checks that the Option ROM has exposed OEM parameters in its runtime header properly. Severity: HIGH 7.4 OROM Oem Parameters Valid Checks the Option ROM version of the OEM parameter table for validity and consistency in the same way as described in test 7.2.
