Running Fan Diagnostics Program
The system is equipped with sensors to protect against
system overheating. By setting video controller and
processor thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the
cooling fan or shut down automatically when temperatures
reach the defined threshold parameters.
Systems experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown may
need to reset the thermal sensor threshold (refer to
“Setting Thermal Sensor Threshold”) and execute the fan
test to ensure the cooling fan is operating normally.
Follow the steps below to use Fan Diagnostics Program:
1. Boot from the Diagnostic Program Diskette.
2. Select Fan Diagnostics from PC DOS 7.0 Startup
Menu.
3. Follow the instruction on screen to execute fan
diagnostics.
Note: If test failed, try reseating the fan connector or
replacing the fan.
