Checkout procedure
The checkout procedure is the sequence of tasks that you should follow to
diagnose a problem in the computer.
About the checkout procedure
Before performing the checkout procedure for diagnosing hardware problems,
review the following information:
v
Read the safety information beginning on page “Safety” on page vii.
v The diagnostic programs provide the primary methods of testing the major
components in the computer, such as the system board, Ethernet controller,
video controller, RAM, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), serial ports, hard disk
drives, and parallel port. The diagnostic programs are stored on a hidden
partition on the computer hard disk. You can also use the programs to test some
external devices. If you are not sure whether a problem is caused by the
hardware or by the software, you can use the diagnostic programs to confirm that
the hardware is working correctly. See “Starting the diagnostic programs and
viewing the test log” on page 40.
v When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several
error messages. When this happens, correct the cause of the first error message.
The other error messages usually might not occur the next time you run the
diagnostic programs.
Exception: If there are multiple error codes or light path diagnostics LEDs that
indicate a microprocessor error, the error might be in a microprocessor or in a
microprocessor socket. See “Microprocessor problems” on page 34 for
information about diagnosing microprocessor problems.
v
Before running the diagnostic programs, you must determine whether the failing
computer is part of a shared hard disk drive cluster (two or more computers
sharing external storage devices). If it is part of a cluster, you can run all
diagnostic programs except the ones that test the storage unit (that is, a hard
