6. Overview
The document explains how to execute the AMD VGA Card diagnostics in 32-bit
Linux system, and provides a list of frequently used Linux commands for you.
6.1 Hardware Requirements
• System Memory: 1GB for a single GPU test station; please add an additional
512MB of system memory for each additional GPU used for the test configuration
• CPU: 32/64 bit Processor and compatible motherboard‐
• Storage device: 8GB or larger hard drive
6.2 Additional Notes
• Do not perform any of the Linux automatic updates as it may cause the diagnostics
to not work,or operate as intended.
• Do not try to run the tserver diagnostics through graphical mode (the tserver
diagnostic suite has not been validated in graphical mode, and any issues
discovered in graphical mode will not be supported by AMD)
• The Linux drive should have a swap partition, with a required MINIMUM size of
twice the system memory size (i.e. A test station which employs the minimum
system memory of 1GB requires the use a Linux swap partition of at least 2GB)
7. Operation Procedures:
7.1Cloning Storage Device with USB Key
This section lists the hardware and software requirements, and provides a

7.1.3 Cloning Procedure
The cloning procedure is divided into two phases:
1. Installing the automated cloning software and clone image onto a USB key.
2. Booting a test system from the configured USB key, which will automatically
install the clone image onto the attached storage device.
Below is a step by step breakdown of how to perform each phase.‐ ‐
