and Engineering functions.
v
Machine type and model
v
Processor or hard disk upgrades
v Failure symptom
– Do diagnostics fail?
– What when where single or multiple systems?
– Is the failure repeatable?
– Has this configuration ever worked?
– If it has been working what changes were made prior to it failing?
– Is this the original reported failure?
v
Reference/Diagnostics version
– Type and version level
v Hardware configuration
– Print (print screen) configuration currently in use
– BIOS level
v

Note: To eliminate confusion identical systems are considered identical only if
they:
1. Are the exact machine type and models
2. Have the same BIOS level
3. Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations
4. Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling
5. Have the same software versions and levels
6. Have the same Reference/Diagnostics Diskette (version)
