At that point you are powering the engine solely on PMA power. After 45 seconds you will get a fault light, then you reset the circuit breaker, shut down normally and then clear your fault.
I'm pretty sure you will get a FADEC FAULT light, the question is will you get a RESTART FAULT light also when you perform the test. If you do, it would explain why the "note" is included for the RESTART light.
