Using Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information (INSPECT)

✎Before you run TEST or INSPECT, you must create a diagnostics diskette. See Section 2.2.1, “Create a Diagnostics Diskette,” for instructions.

1.Cold boot your computer from the diagnostics diskette you have created. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.

2.Select either Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information (INSPECT).

When running TEST:

1.Select the option to view the device list. A list of the installed hardware devices appears.

2.Verify that TEST correctly detected the devices installed. This utility will detect all devices manufactured by Compaq; devices from other manufacturers may not be detected.

❏If the list is correct, select OK and go on to step 3.

❏If the list is incorrect, be sure that any new devices are installed properly.

3.Select one of the following from the test option menu:

❏Quick Check Diagnostics—This option runs a quick, general test on each device with a minimal number of prompts. If errors occur, they are displayed when the testing is complete.

❏Automatic Diagnostics—This option runs unattended, maximum testing of each device with minimal prompts. You can choose how many times to run the tests, to stop on errors, or to print or file a log of errors.

❏Prompted Diagnostics—This option allows maximum control over the device testing process. You can choose attended or unattended testing, decide to stop on errors, or choose to print or file a log of errors.

Follow the instructions on the screen as the diagnostic tests are run on the devices.

To exit either TEST or INSPECT, press the Esc key to reach the Exit option. Then press Enter.
