Test Tab

The Test tab allows you to choose various parts of the system to test. You can also choose the type of test and testing mode.

There are two test modes to choose from:

nInteractive Mode-Provides maximum control over the testing process. The diagnostic software will prompt you for input during tests that require your interaction.You may also determine whether the test passed or failed.

nUnattended Mode-Does not display prompts and requires no interaction. If errors are found, they are displayed when testing is complete.

There are three types of tests to choose from:

nQuick Test-Provides a predetermined script where a sample of each hardware component is exercised and requires no user intervention in either Unattended or Interactive mode.

nComplete Test-Provides a predetermined script where each hardware component is fully tested. There are more tests available in the Interactive mode, but these require user intervention.

nCustom Test-Provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test mode allows you to specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run.

2.On the left side of the tab, select the Type of Test to perform (Quick, Complete, or Custom).

3.On the left side of the tab, select the Test Mode (Interactive or
