Standard Test Features

The Extensa Series Notebook Computers use modular design and built-in
test features to reduce the mean time to repair. A power on self test
automatically verifies the operational state of the primary circuits and a
powerful suite of diagnostic tests are available to further test selected parts
of the system.
