3.2Executing the Diagnostic Test
DOS is required to run the DIAGNOSTICS PROGRAM. To start the DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM, follow these steps:
1.Insert the diagnostics diskette #1 in the floppy disk drive and turn on the computer. (The diagnostics diskette contains the DOS boot files.) And then follow the instructions to swap with the diagnostics diskette #2 for T&D program installed in RAM driver.
NOTE: To execute the CD test, make sure the CD is installed in the ODD drive.
The T&D Program can run by single test item when you press corresponsive English letter of test item, or run two or more test items what you like if you choose them by “Arrow cursors” and “Space Bar” – the wonderful thing is you can setup test loop by “Enter” button.
