How to Run Diagnostics The QAPlus/PRO diagnostic program, developed by DiagSoft for IBM, is the primary method of testing the computer. It is unique to the ThinkPad 365 and will not run on other models. You can use it to test the IBM components of the system and some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you have attached to your system, the longer the testing takes. Important Before loading the diagnostics program: 1. Go to a DOS full screen. 2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F11 to go to the setup screen. 3. Verify all peripherals devices are enabled. 4. Page Down to the second page and verify all peripherals are enabled. The diagnostics program is intended to test only IBM products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses. Loading the IBM ThinkPad 365 Advanced Diagnostics Diskette Attention The Advanced Diagnostics Diskette Version 1.0 supports all ThinkPad 365C, CD, CS, CSD, E, and ED models. However, this diskette refers to all processors as DX4-100. If the diagnostics detect a processor error, refer to the "Parts Listing" to correctly identify the installed processor. To use the IBM ThinkPad 365 Advanced Diagnostics Diskette, you must have at least 500KB of free memory. Also, be sure to read the "README.PO" file on the Diagnostics Diskette. 1. Power-off the computer. 2. Insert the IBM ThinkPad 365 Advanced Diagnostics Diskette into drive A. 3. Power-on the computer. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen and proceed to the Main Menu. Allow two to four minutes for the diagnostic programs to load. 5. At the Main Menu, select the test to run. 6. Press Enter to run the test selected. 7. After starting a test, do not press any key until prompted, then follow the instructions on the screen. 8. When the test is completed, press Esc twice to return to the main menu. 9. Select Exit.
