component level testing developed by the vendor.
Vendor Specific
G2
Wherever possible standard system tools and diagnostics will be used
to verify the system. Once the core of the Delta V system has been
proven, testing will move on to Add-Ons such as the AMS/SIMS system,
the PI system, etc. Once these have been proven the interfaces to third-
party systems can be checked. Once these interfaces have been
checked, the third-party equipment itself shall undergo SAT testing
according to the Third-Party-Vendor's SAT procedures.

Physical Installation Checking including the following:
a) Ensure that all cabinets are installed and wired per the project
drawings and cable schedules.
b) Ensure that all field instruments have their fuses disconnected in the
marshalling cabinets
c) Ensure that all cabinets &components of the system are powered up.
d) Boot all computers and make sure they start properly
e) Physically inspect each power supply cabinet to ensure that there are
no active alarms
