Test selection To select one or more tests, use the following procedure. 1. Open the corresponding test category. 2. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight the desired test. 3. Press the space bar. A selected test is marked by >>. Pressing the space bar again de-selects a test and removes the chevron. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to select all desired tests. Test results Diagnostics test results will produce the following error code format: Function Code Failure Type DeviceID Date ChkDigits Text v Function Code: Represents the feature or function within the PC. v Failure Type: Represents the type of error encountered. v DeviceID: Contains the component's unit-ID which corresponds to either a fixed disk drive, removable media drive, serial or parallel port, processor, specific DIMM, or a device on the PCI bus. v Date: Contains the date on which the diagnostic test was run. The date is retrieved from CMOS and displayed using the YYYYMMDD format. v ChkDigits: Contains a 2-digit check-digit value to ensure the following: - Diagnostics were run on the specified date. - Diagnostics were run on the specified IBM computer. - The diagnostic error code is recorded correctly. v Text: Description of the error. Note: See "Diagnostic error codes" on page 70 for error code listings. Fixed disk advanced test (FDAT) PC-Doctor's (PCDR) Fixed-Disk Advanced Test module (FDAT) is a full-featured highly configurable fixed-disk test suite. The configurable capabilities of FDAT allow users to enable or disable specific tests, enable or disable testing features, control the test log detail, alter testing parameters, etc. FDAT will test for and report most commonly found errors on a fixed-disk drive and is able to test up to 128 SCSI and 4 IDE drives (up to 132 total drives). Drive information is gathered through FDAT's enumeration of available devices and user specific configuration parameters located in the FDAT.INI. FDAT uses information supplied by these features to indicate specifically what devices are available for test, what tests are available for the device, device properties, etc. Modify the FDAT.INI file in PC Doctor for DOS to change testing parameters. FDAT consists of the following subtests and features. 16 Hardware Maintenance Manual
