If the error recurs, replace the FRU that caused the error.

Note: With some FRUs, especially the system board, the problem may be caused by peripheral FRUs. Verify that each peripheral FRU, such as the flexible cable, has no problem by doing the following:

a.Replace each peripheral FRU one at a time, and run the test again.

b.If the peripheral FRUs have no problem, replace the main FRU itself.

To see the FRU structure of each model, refer to “Product overview” on page 95.

6.To exit the test, select Quit – Exit Diag. To cancel the test, press Esc.

The following table lists the options on the test menu.

Note: In Keyboard test within Interactive Tests, the Fn key is scanned only once. Each key should be pressed for at least 2 seconds; otherwise, it cannot be sensed.

Note: The testing of 802.11b requires an Access Point properly prepared prior to conducting the test. When testing 802.11b with PC-Doctor DOS, please confirm the following points:

1.An OBI’s Access Point is located about 3 meters from the system.

2.The encryption is disabled on the Access Point.

If the distance between the Access Point and the system is too far, the test may report failure even if the device is properly working. If the encryption is enabled on the Access Point, the test program
