ABSTRACT:
A multi-cell disk drive test system that provides a power recovery mode is disclosed. The multi-cell disk drive test system includes a test platform having a plurality of cells configured to receive and to provide communication with disk drives loaded therein, respectively, and test logic. The test logic is coupled to a cell and is configured to operate a test application to: execute a series of test modules to test a disk drive loaded in the cell; switch from a normal mode to a power recovery mode responsive to a power recovery flag relating to a power failure; and in the power recovery mode, read a test sequence index identifying a last completed test module before the power failure and execute a subsequent series of test modules following the last completed test module for the disk drive.
