Diagnostics and Utilities CD
The Diagnostics and Utilities program comes on a CD packaged with this
book. The CD is labeled “Diagnostics and Utilities CD.”
The PC-Doctor diagnostic programs, developed by Watergate for IBM, are
the primary method of testing the Aptiva Type 2140 and 2142 computers.
You can use the diagnostics to test the IBM components of the system and
some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components
depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and
devices you have attached to your system, the longer the testing takes.
The Diagnostics and Utilities program is intended to test only IBM Aptiva
Type 2140 and 2142 products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or
modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
To load the Diagnostics and Utilities CD:
Note: Before beginning, ensure that Suspend Timer is disabled in the
Setup Utility.
1. Install the Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
2. Power-off, then power-on the system unit.
3. Do not press F1 during POST.
4. If any POST errors appear after POST, make a note of the errors and
press the Esc key.
5. Using the arrow keys, select an option on the “Aptiva Diagnostics and
Utilities Menu.”
6. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. If an error occurs,
go to “Index of Symptoms, Messages, Error Codes, or Beeps” on
page 2-9.
Note:
These diagnostics will not support Low Level format.
When performing hard disk diagnostics, the system may go into Standby
mode. Depression of any key will bring the system out of standby
