Supported Systems The IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics will run on all of the IBM PC 300/700, and IntelliStation computer systems, except for Type 6571, 6581, 6573, 6583, 6875, 6885. Starting the IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics Program To start the program: 1. Shut down and power-off the system. 2. Wait 10 seconds. 3. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics Diskette into diskette drive A. 4. Power-on the system. The initial diagnostics menu will be displayed. Navigating Through the Diagnostic Programs Use either the mouse or the keyboard to navigate through the Enhanced Diagnostics program. Use the cursor movement keys to navigate within the menus. The Enter key is used to select a menu item. The Esc key is used to back up to the previous menu. For online help select F1. Running diagnostic tests There are four ways to run the diagnostic tests: 1. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight Run Normal Test or Run Quick Test from the Diagnostics Menu and then press Enter. This will automatically run a pre-defined group of tests from each test category. Run Normal Test runs a more extensive set of tests than does Run Quick Test and takes longer to execute. 2. Press F5 to automatically run all selected tests in all categories. See "Test Selection" on page 207. 3. From within a test category, press Ctrl-Enter to automatically run only the selected tests in that category. See "Test Selection" on page 207. 4. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight a single test within a test category and then press Enter. This will run only that test. Press Esc at any time to stop the testing process. Test results, (N/A, PASSED, FAILED, ABORTED), are displayed in the field beside the test description and in the test log.
