IBM 6645, 6644, 6646 manual Using the Diagnostic CD

Diagnostic CD

IMPORTANT: This manual is intended to test the IBM 6644/6645/6646 machine type only. Testing devices which are not included with the original product package, including other IBM products, prototype cards, or modifying hardware settings may give false errors and invalid system responses. The diagnostics not specifically made for this model may also report incorrect errors and information.

NOTE: Didgnostics will be included on the Recovery CD 1.

This version of PC-Doctor diagnostics program, developed by PC Doctor for IBM, is the primary method of testing the computer. You can use it to test the IBM components of the system and some external devices. The amount of time required to test components depends on the number of components installed and selected. The more devices you have attached to your system and selected in PC-Doctor, the longer the testing will take.

NOTE: The diagnostics program for Type 6644/6645/ 6646 are the same.
