Park Fixed Disks
The Park Fixed Disk function prepares the fixed disks for relocation. The fixed disk
heads are placed over the diagnostic cylinder so that vibrations will not cause errors on the
usable media.
Diagnostics
If you select the Diagnostics Program, a warning and informational menu displays. Press
the N key to abort the diagnostics or the Y key to continue, and the diagnostics menu
displays.
Each test listed indicates the hardware item to be tested and the configuration of that
hardware item. Some items are listed only present (P) or not present (N), while others
specify a hardware type; for example, Keyboard can be an 84-key keyboard, a 101 -key
keyboard, or not present (N). The diskette types are defined as they are in the Setup
Program menu.
The diagnostics menu reflects the hardware the Diagnostics Program detects in your
computer. The selection process overrides this automatic selection process or excludes
specific tests from a complete suite of tests to be performed.
Press the Arrow keys to highlight an item you want to test or change, and press the F5
and F6 keys to select new items in each field.
You can test a single item by moving the highlight to a particular test and pressing the
F10 key. You must select something other than not present (N) or None.
Pressing the F9 key tests all currently selected devices. If you do not want to perform
specific tests, set these test selections to not present (N); this tells the diagnostic program
not to test these items.
