The Test Program operations are described in Chapter 3. Detailed replacement procedures are
described in Chapter 4.

NOTE:

1.

When replacing the system board, make sure to follow the procedures below.

(1) Execute the subtest03 DMI information save of 3.3 Setting of the hardware
configuration in Chapter 3 in order to save DMI data from the old system board
to Floppy disk.

(2) Copy the DMI data to a new system board by executing the subtest04 DMI

information recovery and subtest08 System configuration display.

The implement for the Diagnostics procedures is referred to Chapter 3. Also, following
implements are necessary:

1.

Phillips screwdrivers (For replacement procedures)

2.

Implements for debugging port check

?

Toshiba MS-DOS system FD

?

RS-232C cross cable

?
