Installing and Setting Up DiagTools
Net Vectra PC Users
If you are a Net Vectra PC user, the Hardware Diagnostics should
already be installed on your PC and be ready to use. To learn how to
run DiagTools on a Net Vectra PC, refer to "Starting DiagTools from the
Hard Disk Drive", on page 9.
Vectra PC & Kayak PC Workstation Users and Network
Administrators
For Vectra PC and Kayak PC Workstation users, as well as network
administrators, you must do the following before you can use
DiagTools:
1
Install the latest version of DiagTools on your PC.
2
Set up DiagTools so that it is ready for use. This means either
creating the diskette(s), or updating the Hardware Diagnostics files
on your Net Vectra PC.
There are two ways to run DiagTools:
•
From diskettes. The PC boots (or starts) from the first diskette. This
is appropriate for all PCs that have a floppy disk drive. This is the
most common way of using DiagTools.
•
From the hard disk drive. In this case, you select the Hardware
Diagnostics option during startup. The Hardware Diagnostics utility
is installed on the hard disk drive. This is only appropriate for Net
Vectra PCs. Net Vectra PCs do not usually have a floppy disk drive.
NOTE
DiagTools must not be run directly from your operating system.
DiagTools will only function under the DOS operating system and once
the correct drivers have been loaded.
