Chapter 2 – Testing
Diagnostic tests are provided as a tool to verify the operation of the 9457 system hard-
ware functions. If any of these tests fail, either you do not have the correct default setting
or there is a failure. Check the default settings and run the tests again. If there is a failure,
contact Xycom’s Product Repair Department.
Note
Unexpected failures may occur if Xycom diagnostics are run with device drivers or
memory resident programs installed on the system. Remove these before running any
diagnostic tests.
Also, the diagnostic disk does not provide an option to test a CD-ROM drive.
