The advanced space-based solar observatory (ASO-S) is the first Chinese solar mission which is scheduled to be launched in the end of 2021. It is designed to study the magnetic field, the solar coronal mass ejections the solar flares as well as their relationships. ASO-S includes three scientific payloads, the Full-disk vector MagnetoGraph (FMG), the Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope (LST) and the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI). As a key part on ASO-S, HXI will improve our understanding on the solar flares

This paper describes the procedure and results of the environmental tests including the mechanical and thermal which were done on the qualification model of the HXI-S. The functional tests of the spectrometer are further carried out, and the results show that the detector could operate normally. 10
