information and devices should be listed if applicable:
Product name
Cache memory
Floppy drives
Serial number
Main memory
IDE drives
BIOS version
Graphics adapter
SoundBlaster audio device
Processor type
Display name
Note
If any such device is present but not detected, or if its test fails, it may be configured incorrectly
in the BIOS Setup utility (page 3-20). You can confirm the problem by running BIOS Setup and
restoring the default settings.

Ticket log file, HPSUPPT.TXT.

When prompted, press F2 to start the basic hardware test.

log file, HPSUPPT.TXT.
8.
Run the advanced tests.
When prompted, press F2 to open the advanced test screen.
9. Select and run the appropriate tests. Tests are dimmed if no such hardware is detected. Press the
following keys to run tests:
ENTER
Runs the highlighted test.

Batch menu, Run Batch Test, ENTER runs all marked tests.
If any test fails, the error is logged (error code and description) and displayed temporarily (error
code). If several errors occur, look for patterns that might indicate a common cause. See the table
on page 3-12 for repair suggestions. Consider these suggestions in combination with other
troubleshooting information.
10.
Exit.
When you are finished running tests, remove the diagnostic disk, then press ESC to exit and
reboot.
11.
Optional: Check the log.
On any computer, open the HPSUPPT.TXT log file on the diagnostic
disk using Notepad or other text editor. It contains a list of all test results and errors.
Note that the serial and parallel port tests are more thorough if you connect a loopback connector to the
port before running the test for that port. See the wiring diagrams below.
