It puts the GS through a sequence of internal tests (I don't know exactly what gets tested). You'll see pretty colors and patterns on your screen as the test runs for close to a minute or so. By the way, doing this test will reset your GS to any control panel changes you made. In other words you can turn your RAM disk on or off, and instead of flipping the power switch, do a system test to make the change take effect. I believe the RAM disk gets trashed during the test.
