5. If a critical error is encountered, the system halts.

Diagnostics CD
The Diagnostics program comes on a CD packaged with this book. The CD
is labeled “Diagnostics CD.”
The QAPlus/PRO diagnostic programs, developed by DiagSoft for IBM, are
the primary method of testing the computer. You can use them 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 program is intended to test only IBM products. Non-IBM
products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and
invalid system responses.
To load the Diagnostics CD:
Note: Before beginning, ensure that Rapid Resume is disabled in the Setup
Utility.
1. Install the Diagnostics CD in the CD-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. 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:
This Service Level A Diagnostics will not support Low Level format.
When performing hard disk diagnostics, the system may go into Standby
