Diagnostics software.
The Hardware Diagnostics menu displays.
4. From the Hardware Diagnostics main menu, choose Immediate Burn-In Testing.

b. If you are using a test you created yourself, type d:\testname .tst into the Load
Burn-in Script field, where testname is the name of the test you created.
7. Select Perform Burn-in Tests to run the script.
8. When the tests are complete, press the Esc key to exit the Display Results window.
