Starting the Diagnostic Program
Always run diagnostic tests with no device drivers or memory managers (EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS) installed. Whenever you plan to run the diagnostic tests, you must first start your computer from a DOS diskette containing no device drivers, or you must exit to DOS if you have an operating system other than DOS. (Refer to the section “Accessing DOS” in Chapter 3.)
To use the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette Configuration and
Diagnostic Program, follow these steps:
1In the main menu, select Configuration/Diagnostic/ Troubleshooting and press [Enter].
Refer to Chapter 3 for instructions for accessing the main menu.
2When the Configuration and Diagnostic screen appears, select Configuration and Diagnostic Program, and press [Enter].
If you are testing multiple adapters, a screen displaying descriptions of each installed adapter appears. Select the adapter you want to test and press [Enter]. A screen appears, showing the selected adapter.
3Continue with the instructions given in the next section, “Running the Group 1 Tests.”
Group 1 tests are the default.
