NOTE: Although the global aspect of the diagnostics allow for DVD testing, the LOGIQ™ P5 does not have a
DVD drive.(Option)
• DVD/CD-ROM Test (All) - The CD-ROM/DVD test examines the CD-ROM/DVD drive to make sure
it is working properly. You may use either a data CD-ROM disk or a DVD disk for these tests. You
cannot use an audio CD, such as a regular commercial music CD, with this test.

seconds after inserting a disk into the drive before you run any tests.
There are two types of CD-ROM/DVD tests:
1.)
Seek Tests: Ensures the drive can access all locations on a disk, and
2.)
Read Tests: Ensures the drive can read all the data.

disk randomly.
•
DVD/CD-ROM: Funnel Seek - Tests that all locations can be accessed on a CD-ROM or DVD disk
