IBM Enhanced Diagnostics
IBM provides programs that you can run to diagnose problems you suspect to be
hardware related. Several utility programs that provide helpful information about the
computer are also included. The user interface for running these diagnostic and
utility programs is provided by PC-Doctor for Windows.
The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program will isolate the computer hardware from
software that was preinstalled (or that you have installed) on the hard disk drive.
The programs run independently of the operating system, and must be run either
from CD or diskette . This method of testing is generally used when other methods
are not accessible or have not been successful in isolating a problem suspected to
be hardware related.
The Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD comes with the computer. To
run the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program from the Device Driver and IBM
Enhanced Diagnostics CD, do the following:
1. Change the start up sequence for the computer. See “Changing the startup
sequence to start from the CD” on page 25.
2. Insert the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD into the CD-ROM
drive.
3. Shut down the computer.
4. Start up the computer. The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program will
automatically run.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
You can also download the latest image of the diagnostics from the IBM Web site.
To download the latest image of the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics from the Web site
and create a startable Enhanced Diagnostics diskette:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/intellistation on the World Wide Web.
2. Click Support . From the Family drop-down list, select a family. Click
Downloadable files on the left side of the screen; then, select Diagnostics
from the Downloadable files by Category drop-down list.
3. Download the.exe file to a hard disk directory (not to a diskette).
4. Go to a DOS prompt and change to the directory where you downloaded the
file.
5. Insert a blank high-capacity diskette in diskette drive A.
6. Type the following and press Enter:
filename a:
Where filename is the name of the file you downloaded from the Web.
The self-extracting downloaded file is copied to the diskette, and a startable IBM
Enhanced Diagnostics diskette is created.
To start the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program using the diagnostic diskette, do
the following:
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette into diskette drive A.
3. Turn on all attached devices; then turn on the computer.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
