This booklet describes how to use the diagnostics program, called DIAG, to test the condition of your computer’s main unit and peripheral devices, The DIAG program provides tests to check the following hardware:
CI System board
Cl Memory
Ll Hard disk drive
0 Diskette drive
LI Keyboard
CI Video adapter board and monitor

After you start the diagnostics program, you can create a database that records the location of faulty memory chips, if any exist. This database displays a graphic representing your computer’s memory board and identifies the faulty chips.
Once you select a test, you need to specify how long to run it. You use the Run Time Parameters window to specify a certain length of time to run the test, run it continuously until you interrupt it, or specify a number of times to run the test.
