Figure 2-2. Dell Diagnostics Main Screen
Confirm the System Configuration Information
When you boot your computer from your System Software CD, the diagnostics dis-
plays a list of the computer devices and components in the Device Groups area on
the main screen.
Do not be concerned if the Device Groups area does not list the names of all the
components or devices connected to your computer. For example, you may not see a
printer listed, although you know one is attached to your computer. If the printer is
connected to the computer through the parallel port connector, you can test the
printer connection with the Parallel Ports test.
