CPU/Memory/Disk/System Tests

| System Diagnostics, Tuning, Optimization and BenchMarks |
|
CAUTION: When performing certain "tests", you have a high likelyhood that things might be irrepairably damaged
|
|
| Diagnostic and BurnIn Testing |
- Document all Tests, Process and Proceedures ( especially emergency proceedures )
- If its too hot ... your life cycle is lowered ( 1/2 for every 10C increase )
- Stress test your power supply
- Stress test your cpu/mem/disks
- Run tests on invidual parts under test in a "known/fixed test setup"
- Run tests overnight ( few days/weeks ) -- infant mortality testing
- Run tests at elevated ambient temperatures -- MTBF testing
- Run functional and boundry test cases
- Try to detect the failures while the system is still in your lab
- Implement a monitoring system to detect and notify you of failures
