specific area of memory. By selecting these limiting parameters, you reduce memory testing time. Scripting Scripting allows you to select specific groups of tests, testing parameters, and options. Your selection is saved for later use as a test Script. To set up a test script, first select all the appropriate test groups and specific tests you want to run from the Module Testing section under Diagnostics. You should also select appropriate testing parameters and options. See "Program Navigation" on page 215, for instructions to save a test script. Changing Logical Unit Numbers In some instances, you can have more than one logical unit number (LUN) for a particular module. LUNs represent individual devices within a test group or module. For example, you might have two diskette drives or two hard disk drives; or, you might have base, extended, shadow, and cache memory installed in the computer. This configuration might result in as many as four or five different LUNs in the Memory Test Group. Or you might have base, extended, shadow, and cache memory installed in the system which might result in as many as four or five different LUNs in the Memory Test Group. From either the Module Test Menu or the Test Group window, you can change to a different LUN (where applicable) by pressing the plus (+) key (next LUN), or the minus (−) key (previous LUN). Test Group Specifications In the upper-right-hand portion of the testing screen (or just the upper portion if you switched to an individual test group screen) are the specifications for the related test group. Note: In the Hard Disk Test Group specification area, if a software program was to compress your drive, the indicated size is the compressed size of the logical drive. Starting the Diagnostics Diskette 1. Insert the Diagnostics diskette into drive A. 2. Power-on the computer. 3. When the Diagnostics Main Menu is displayed, press Ctrl+A. (The screen will not change.) 4. Select Diagnostics; then, press Enter. 5. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. If an error is displayed, go to "Symptom-to-FRU Index" on page 32.

By selecting these limiting
parameters, you reduce memory testing time.
Scripting
Scripting allows you to select specific groups of tests,
testing parameters, and options.
Your selection is saved
for later use as a test
Script
.
To set up a test script, first
select all the appropriate test groups and specific tests you
want to run from the Module Testing section under
Diagnostics.
You should also select appropriate testing
parameters and options.
See “Program Navigation” on
page
215, for instructions to save a test script.
Changing Logical Unit Numbers
In some instances, you can have more than one logical
unit number (LUN) for a particular module.
LUNs
represent individual devices within a test group or module.
For example, you might have two diskette drives or two
hard disk drives;
or, you might have base, extended,
shadow, and cache memory installed in the computer.
This configuration might result in as many as four or five
different LUNs in the Memory Test Group.
Or you might
have base, extended, shadow, and cache memory
installed in the system which might result in as many as
four or five different LUNs in the Memory Test Group.
From either the Module Test Menu or the Test Group
window, you can change to a different LUN (where
applicable) by pressing the plus (
+
) key (next LUN), or the
minus (
-
) key (previous LUN).
Test Group Specifications
In the upper-right-hand portion of the testing screen (or just
the upper portion if you switched to an individual test group
screen) are the specifications for the related test group.
Note:
In the Hard Disk Test Group specification area, if a
software program was to compress your drive, the
indicated size is the compressed size of the logical
drive.
Starting the Diagnostics Diskette
1.
Insert the Diagnostics diskette into drive A.
2.
Power-on the computer.
3.
When the Diagnostics
Main Menu
is displayed, press
Ctrl+A
.
(The screen will not change.)
4.
Select Diagnostics; then, press
Enter
.
5.
Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
If
an error is displayed, go to “Symptom-to-FRU Index”
on page
32.
