2. If you receive an error, go to “Symptom-to-FRU
Index” on page 237.

“Undetermined Problems” on page 239.
1. Power-off the computer and all external devices.
2. Check all cables and power cords for correct
connection.
3. Insert the Advanced Diagnostics diskette into the
diskette drive.

correct responses, go to “Symptom-to-FRU Index” on
page 237.
