SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
TEST TAB
The Insight Diagnostics utility provides the capability to test all the major pieces of hardware in the
system. You can select from several types of tests:
„
Quick Test —Provides a predetermined script where a sample of each hardware component is
exercised and requires no user intervention.
„
Complete Test —Provides a predetermined script where each hardware component is fully tested.
You can select Interactive or Unattended tests. This will change the devices tested during the
Complete Test. There are more tests available in the interactive mode, but these require user
intervention.
„
Custom Test —Provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test
mode enables the user to specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. Users
are provided the ability to select tests that do not require any user interaction through the
Interactive
and Unattended test modes.
To begin testing:
1 Select the Test tab.
2 Select the Type of Test to perform and then select the Test Mode , either Interactive or Unattended .
3 Choose how you want the test to be executed, either Number of Loops or Total Test Time .
When choosing to run the test over a specified number of loops, enter the number of loops to
perform. If you desire to have the diagnostic test for a specified time period, enter the amount of
time in minutes.
NOTE Testing will automatically stop, if one test loop has been completed, when the elapsed test time
has reached the specified time limit.
4 Click Begin Testing to start the test.
While tests are being performed, the user can monitor the progress by viewing the Status tab. Any
errors that are detected are summarized in the Error Log. Click the Print button to print or save the
