IGCA Test Stand

[Supertech]

I thought you guys might appreciate this...   This is the IGCA test stand that we use to load test parts. All the cabinet switches are on toggles. The buttons are wired in like normal. The CD in the drive is a tweaked version of QE2-N with the verification step bypassed so it boots faster. I do keep a copy of Knoppix handy just in case I need to run Memtest86.

For power, the harness was modified by re-pinning the female side to work with a standard ATX supply. For video, just the analog out into a regular PC monitor.

I typically run parts for 12-24 hours with Autoplay enabled, that tends to find most of the problems.

In this configuration the BV and Printer are ignored, but it's good for testing ram, video cards, sound cards and the IIOB plus the CPU itself.

That is a really cool station!
