Diagnostic Programs A-3

Distribution Diskette

The diagnostic diskette contains these files:

•platform.exe

•localx86.bin

•help.txt

•help.idx

•readme.doc

•@6141.ADF

•!emu0000.cfg

•!emu0008.cfg

Check the diskette to make sure all these files are present, then make a backup copy of the diagnostic diskette for regular use. If you plan to run diagnostics from a hard drive, create a subdirectory on the hard disk and, copy the files into that subdirectory. Place the original Emulex diskette in a safe place.
