6. Overview

The document explains how to execute the AMD VGA Card diagnostics in 32-bit

Linux system, and provides a list of frequently used Linux commands for you.

6.1 Hardware Requirements

• System Memory: 1GB for a single GPU test station; please add an additional

512MB of system memory for each additional GPU used for the test configuration

• CPU: 32/64 bit Processor and compatible motherboard‐

• Storage device: 8GB or larger hard drive 6.2 Additional Notes

• Do not perform any of the Linux automatic updates as it may cause the diagnostics

to not work,or operate as intended.

• Do not try to run the tserver diagnostics through graphical mode (the tserver

diagnostic suite has not been validated in graphical mode, and any issues

discovered in graphical mode will not be supported by AMD)

• The Linux drive should have a swap partition, with a required MINIMUM size of

twice the system memory size (i.e. A test station which employs the minimum

system memory of 1GB requires the use a Linux swap partition of at least 2GB)

7. Operation Procedures:

7.1Cloning Storage Device with USB Key This section lists the hardware and software requirements, and provides a

step by step procedure to‐ ‐ clone a test machine’s storage device with a USB key.

7.1.1 Hardware Requirements Component Hardware Requirement

Cloning System • USB 2.0 Ports Cloning USB Key • USB 2.0 device

• 512MB or larger capacity (Note: all data on the USB

device will be erased as a result) Test System • 32 bit or 64 bit processor (Intel P4/AMD Athlon or newer)

• 1GB of DDR2 system memory

• Storage device with 8GB or larger capacity – either SATA/IDE hard drive or USB 2.0 Key (Note: it is required

to have only one storage device other than the cloning

USB Key connected to test system during cloning)

7.1.2 Software Requirements Component Software Requirement USB Key Cloning System

• System with Windows XP SP2 installed

• Cloning utilities (can be downloaded from sip)

(usb.clone.binaries.zip)& (ub904-serverx86-8g-v101.zip) Test System • System BIOS that supports booting from USB key

7.1.3 Cloning Procedure The cloning procedure is divided into two phases:

1. Installing the automated cloning software and clone image onto a USB key.

2. Booting a test system from the configured USB key, which will automatically

install the clone image onto the attached storage device.

Below is a step by step breakdown of how to perform each phase.‐ ‐

7.1.3.1 Installing Cloning Software and Disk Image onto USB Key Format the USB key

• Insert USB key into system(Please install windows XP environment)

• Open “My Computer”

• Right click on the Drive mapped to the USB key and select Format

• Please select the “FAT32 partition” option

• A popup window will appear, click on Start to begin Formatting the USB key

from sip and extracted the file(usb.clone.binaries.zip),then copy them onto

Windows XP(Please install windows XP environment for use).

• Copy the vb6stkit.dll file(from usb.clone.binaries) to Windows XP/system

directory.

7.1.3.2 Clone Test System’s Storage Device from USB Key

• Insert the USB key prepared in the previous section into test machine.(eg:P5E)

• Ensure the test system’s BIOS has been configured to boot from the prepared USB

key.

• Ensure that there is only one storage device (either IDE hard drive, SATA hard drive or USB key) attached to test machine other than the prepared USB key.

• Boot the test system and ensure it boots from the prepared USB key. From here
