IPC-1600 Diagnostic Program
The IPC-1600 diagnostic consists of six tests which can be run on either the Altos 5000 or
Altos 15000 systems. These tests can only be run under the MS-DOS operating system. Thus, for
either system, you must boot the system with MS-DOS, create a bootable disk, copy the
diagnostics onto the bootable disk, and reboot the system with the newly created diagnostic disk.
However, you only have to do this once, after which you can save the disk and use it whenever
you have to run the diagnostic.
Before you run this diagnostic, you must power down the system, remove the IPC-1600 card and
reset the dip switch settings for the memory address. Be sure to note the original setting before
changing the address. You must return the address to its original setting for normal operation. Set
the address for A0000 as shown in Figure 8-5 and replace the board.
To create a a new diagnostic disk, you need a bootable disk containing the MS-DOS operating
system, a blank unformatted disk, and the disk containing the IPC-16000 diagnostic program.
The Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 systems do not have the same power-up procedure. This
difference is accommodated in Step 1.
