Chapter 2 – Testing
On units with MS-DOS installed, diagnostic tests are provided as a tool to verify the op-
eration of system hardware functions. If any of these tests fails, either you do not have
the correct default setting or there is a failure. Check the default settings and run the tests
again. If another failure occurs, contact Xycom’s Product Repair & Customization De-
partment (see Chapter 4).
Note
Remove any device drivers or memory resident programs (TSRs) in-
stalled on the system before running Xycom diagnostic tests. If you do
not, unexpected failures may occur.
The diagnostic disk does not provide an option to test a CD-ROM drive.
Make sure the BIOS setup menus are configured properly (factory set configuration).
To enter the BIOS setup menus,
1.
Press
F2
after the POST RAM test has completed.
2.
Make the necessary changes by following directions on the screen.
3.
Press
ESC.
4.
Press
ENTER
twice to save the settings and exit the BIOS setup menus.
Refer to your CPU manual for more information on the BIOS setup menus.
