Boards We Like to Test
How to Test
- Grab a Motherboard, check for visual defects (blown caps, mutilated components)
- Secure MoBo to plate, ensuring the risers are not grounding out the board.
- Test battery,
- Add a processor and a fan for that MoBo (may need to do some research to figurer out what kind)
- Add some memory
- Attempt to post
- connect the minimal things needed to post (power, keyboard, video, etc)
- power down, then attach:
- imaged hard drive to IDE1
- CD Drive to IDE2
- Floppy Drive to FD controller
- periferials (mouse, keyboard, Video)
- Boot into BIOS
- change the boot order to be Floppy, hard drive
- Boot to Memtest, Let it run for a minute, it will run for ever if you let it (The memtest program is a boot option on the hard drive)
- Boot up to Operating System
- Check that the mouse and keyboard work
- If you have on board video check that it works.
- Test all the USB ports with a mouse
- If you have on board sound play a audio cd, if not then take a look at a data cd
- run stress-test
- Some cases might call for testing
- RAID
- SATA
