3.1 The Diagnostic Test
This chapter explains how to use the Diagnostic Test Program to test the functions of the
computer's hardware modules. The Diagnostics Program is stored on the Diagnostics Disk
and consists of 11 programs that are grouped into the Service Program Module (Diagnostics
Menu) and the Test Program Module (Diagnostic Test Menu).
NOTES: To start diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Check all cables for loose connections.
2. Exit any application you may be using and close Windows.
3. Be sure the computer is not in virtual 86 mode. The test will not run in that mode.
If you try to run the test in virtual 86 mode, the following message displays:
Cannot execute in a virtual 8086 mode.
If the preceding message displays, remove memory managers from your
CONFIG.SYS file. See your MS-DOS documentation for information on the
CONFIG.SYS file.
The Diagnostics Menu consists of the following functions:
❑ DIAGNOSTIC TEST
❑ HARD DISK FORMAT
❑ HEAD CLEANING
❑ LOG UTILITIES
❑ RUNNING TEST
❑ FDD UTILITIES
❑ SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
❑ EXIT TO MS-DOS
❑ SETUP
Diagnostic Test (the first option of the Diagnostics Menu) contains the following 11 tests:
❑ SYSTEM TEST
❑ MEMORY TEST
❑ KEYBOARD TEST
❑ DISPLAY TEST
❑ FLOPPY DISK TEST
❑ PRINTER TEST
❑ ASYNC TEST

The service programs are the remaining Diagnostics Menu functions (hard disk format, etc.).
