The system diagnostics can be run from the utility partition or from a separate Dell Diagnostics Diskette provided with your system (the Dell Diagnostics Diskette has the latest diagnostics tests). From the Utility Partition menu, select Run System Utili- ties and then select Run System Diagnostics.

Before running the diagnostics, you should make a blank diskette and insert it in the diskette drive so the diagnostics programs can record critical messages and informa- tion as necessary. Use the Create Blank Formatted Diskette option to create a formatted diskette. The system hardware diagnostics are described in Chapter 5, “Running the Dell Diagnostics,” of the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
