4.Choose option [3] Run AMI System Diagnostics.

5.You will be informed that the AMI Diag Program files will be extracted to a RAM drive and that the process will take approximately one minute. Press [Y] to proceed.

6.The utility will detect your system hardware configuration and extract the required compressed diagnostics files into RAM drive. Upon file de-compression the main menu will be displayed. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll to the desired selection: or simply press the key corresponding to the first letter of the menu item. Compaq recommends that you first view the HELP FILE for more information on using the diagnostics and for the latest release notes.

7.At the end of each diagnostic run, you will be notified if the test ran successfully or if errors were encountered. If errors were encountered, you will be given a choice to view the error log file to determine the nature of the problem encountered by the diagnostic. All test results are written to a file named AMIDIAG.LOG. This file can be viewed by selecting the Display Error Log File option from the Options menu.

__________________________ Note _____________________________

The AMIDIAG.LOG file is saved to RAM drive by default. In this condition, if you power down, the AMIDIAG.LOG file will be lost. If you want to save the AMIDIAG.LOG file, exist to DOS and manually copy it to the diskette or hard drive. You may also save the AMIDIAG.LOG file from the Options menu Generate Report selection.
