computer off, then on again, to access the utility.
A choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu:

.
3.
Select
Storage
>
DPS Self-Test
.
The screen will display the list of DPS-capable hard drives that are installed on the computer.
NOTE:
If no DPS-capable hard drives are installed, the
DPS Self-Test
option will not appear
on the screen.

Select the hard drive to be tested and follow the screen prompts to complete the testing process.
When the test has been completed, one of three messages will be displayed:
●
