Abstract
A printed circuit board of a hard disk drive system includes a first component and a plurality of second components of the hard disk drive system. The first component is configured to transmit information to, and receive information from, a host device via a communication interface of the printed circuit board. The first component includes a first testing module operating as a master testing module. Each of the plurality of second components includes a respective second testing module operating as a slave testing module. The first component is connected to each of the plurality of second components and is configured to provide test configuration data to each of the respective second testing modules. The test configuration data corresponds to the information received from the host device, and the test configuration data enables each of the respective second testing modules to test operation of the plurality of second components.
