The Environment test exercises and validates the following system hardware:
Environmental subsystems, which include system fan, LEDs, front panel, keyswitch, power supply, and temperature sensors. The environmental tests these subsystems on the following products:
Oracle's Sun Enterprise 450 product line
Sun Enterprise 250 systems
Sun Blade 1000/2000 systems
Sun Blade 100/150 systems
Sun Blade 1500/2500 systems
A70 workstation systems
Sun Fire 280R product line
Sun Fire V440, V445, V240, V245, V210, V215, V250 systems
Oracle's Netra 210, 240, 440 systems
All x86 systems with Base Management Controller (BMC card).
Remote System Control (RSC) feature, which is integrated on the Sun Enterprise 250 and on the next-generation RSC 2.0 plug-in card introduced with the Sun Fire 280R line.
Exercises the Advanced Lights-Out Management (ALOM) feature, which is integrated into the Sun Fire V210, V240, V215, V245, V440, and V445, and Sun Netra 240 and 440 systems.
I2C bus, proper placement of various I2C devices, their operation, status, and data integrity.
Display functions, parameters of an IEEE 1394 digital camera, such as vid mode, frame rate, and frames received.
SunPCi II card, which is a x86 PC processor embedded in an add-on card, runs bridge and system diagnostics tests.
