Failed: This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error. User Aborted: This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test before it is complete. Not Applicable: This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test for a device that is not present. Aborted: This result occurs when the test could not proceed because of the system configuration. Warning: This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not installed. Test Specific String This is additional information that you can use to analyze the problem. Starting the diagnostic programs You can press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain Help information. You also can press F1 from within a help screen to obtain online documentation from which you can select different categories. To exit Help and return to where you left off, press Esc.
