Using System Diagnostics

System Diagnostics allows you to run diagnostic tests to determine if the Slate hardware is functioning properly. Depending on your Slate model, the following diagnostic tests may be available in System Diagnostics:

●Hard disk test—This test analyzes the physical condition of the drive, and then checks all data in every sector of the drive. If the test detects a damaged sector, it attempts to move the data to a good sector.

●Memory test—This test analyzes the physical condition of the memory modules. If it reports an error, replace the memory modules immediately.

You can also view system information and error logs in the System Diagnostics window.

NOTE: An external keyboard (purchased separately) may be connected to the USB port to perform these steps.

To start System Diagnostics:

1.Turn on or restart the Slate. While the “Press the (-) key for Startup Menu” message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen, press the Volume down button (-) repeatedly. When the Startup Menu is displayed, press the Volume down button (-).

2.Tap the diagnostic test you want to run, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: If you need to stop a diagnostics test while it is running, press esc on an external keyboard.
