Run the console malfunction-diagnosis program (hwtest)
Start the console's built-in **hwtest** program from the Engineering Utility to exercise the MHR PWBs, the raw data disk array (RDD), and the GCIFA-D data path — then pick the right numbered test (Table 6.10-1) for the symptom you're chasing (source §6.10, p.101-103).
Applies to
Aquilion 16 (TSX-101A) — Console volume 2D201-079, section 6.10 ("Malfunction Diagnosis Program"), p.101-103. Source states this program is one of two test tools covered by §6.10: **hwtest** (this atom — started post-boot, from the running system's own Engineering Utility) and a second program, **diagnostics**, described by source only as "a PWB stand-alone test program that is started from the RTM using a terminal computer" (§6.10.1 outline sentence). Source gives no further detail on the diagnostics/RTM program in this section — do not substitute hwtest's menu or steps for it.
Personnel
1 technician · Intermediate — starting the Engineering Utility console, navigating to the [X:/] prompt, changing directory (cd BIR/hwtestudata) and launching the test binary (../bin/hwtest), reading the numbered test menu (Table 6.10-1) to choose the right test for the symptom (including whether the gantry must be connected/powered for that test), entering a repetition count where the test calls for one, and safely stopping ([DEL]) and recovering (full shutdown + restart, not just exiting the menu) (skill assessment derived from procedure content — not an OEM-stated skill level).
