Running Diagnostics

IPC-1600 Diagnostic Program

The IPC-1600 diagnostic consists of six tests which can be run on either the Altos 5000 or

Altos 15000 systems. These tests can only be run under the MS-DOS operating system. Thus, for either system, you must boot the system with MS-DOS, create a bootable disk, copy the diagnostics onto the bootable disk, and reboot the system with the newly created diagnostic disk. However, you only have to do this once, after which you can save the disk and use it whenever you have to run the diagnostic.

Before you run this diagnostic, you must power down the system, remove the IPC-1600 card and reset the dip switch settings for the memory address. Be sure to note the original setting before changing the address. You must return the address to its original setting for normal operation. Set the address for A0000 as shown in Figure 8-5 and replace the board.

To create a a new diagnostic disk, you need a bootable disk containing the MS-DOS operating system, a blank unformatted disk, and the disk containing the IPC-16000 diagnostic program.

The Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 systems do not have the same power-up procedure. This difference is accommodated in Step 1.
