The required test code is used for the storage space. [Similarly, as a test, I will continue to edit the skin. . In the present invention, each side of the computer motherboard 3G is performed by the corresponding test application 1G1, and some test programs 101, test value parameters 103, and preset value parameters 1G5 are stored externally. Store in the country. The external 4 storage device 20 is connected to the electric docking plate w. A hard disk drive is used as an example of an external storage button, and the hard disk drive 2 can be connected to the computer motherboard 30 via an electric double wire. At least one of the test applications ι〇ι, the intermediary bribe, at least one or more of the test value parameters 1〇3, and at least one of the preset value parameters 1G5 are all older than the hard disk drive. Each test application 101 corresponds to the corresponding test value parameter 1〇3 ' For example, the test application for the built-in display card has a set of dedicated and built-in display cards. The test value parameter is 1〇3. The intermediary program 107 is used to be called by the test applications 101. The intermediate program 107 can store the test value parameters 103 and the preset value parameters 105 to the CMOS 301 of the computer motherboard 3〇. The fourth figure shows a state diagram of the test equipment of the present invention for testing a computer motherboard. When the test is in progress, the external storage device 2, the display 4, the keyboard (not shown), and the power supply (not shown) are connected to the computer motherboard 30, and then the power is turned on. At this time, the computer motherboard 3 is loaded. Enter the D〇s operating system and enter the DOS operating environment. The tester is then able to perform various tests on the 1334980 project. Let's take the test application 1〇1 for the built-in display card as an example. /Beizhu tester uses the keyboard to input the file name of the test application 101 for the built-in display card (for example: VGA_TEST.EXE), and ''VGA-TEST.EXF, 101 is loaded from the hard disk drive 20 Executed. Between the execution of ''VGA-TEST.EXF' 101, the intermediary program 1〇7 is called 'the intermediary program 107 that is called to execute, ν〇Α_ΤΕ8ΤΕχΕ„ 1Q1 is dedicated to the built-in display card. The test value parameter 1〇3, the set test value parameter 1〇3 is read from the hard disk drive 2〇, and then the mediation program 1〇7 stores the set test value parameter 103 to the CMOS 301, at this time, the computer motherboard 3.
