Intel® In-Field Scan - Emerald Rapids Scan Test Images

Intel® In-Field Scan is a family of tools designed to help system administrators quickly and easily find processors that have failed over time. Intel® In-Field Scan has a roadmap of capabilities that will be included on current and future processors.

More Information

Details on the system requirements and how to run In-Field Scan are provided in the Intel® In-Field Scan for 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processor Enabling Guide. Intel® In-Field Scan is an important step forward in the domain of reliability and availability services, as it enables customers to use industry test capabilities to rapidly identify defective units in their fleet.

In-Field Scan Test Images

Scan Test Images for Intel In-Field Scan on 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, formerly codenamed Emerald Rapids. These images are *only* compatible with processors with a Family-Model-Stepping of 0x06-0xCF-0x02 (CPUID: 0xC06F2.) After download, extract and copy all *.scan files to /usr/lib/firmware/intel/ifs_0 for maximum scan coverage.

System Requirements

There are hardware and software requirements to enable Intel® In-Field Scan on a platform. Below is a summary of the requirements.

• An Intel® Xeon® processor that supports Intel® In-Field Scan
• Scan Test Images (scan test patterns for the cores)
• The Intel® In-Field Scan Linux device driver
• The Intel® In-Field Scan Application

Note: Not all SKUs of the 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Processors support Intel® In-Field Scan.
