Before Running OmniBook DiagTools

Before you run the DiagTools, consider whether you need to make any changes in
the HP BIOS Setup program. Hardware devices that are disabled in Setup cannot be
tested by the DiagTools.

If you want to test the current hardware configuration, do not change any
settings in the Setup program.

If you want to perform a more complete test, you can run the Setup program
and enable devices that you want to test.

More Information About the PC’s Setup Program

Setup is an integrated (ROM-based) program that displays the PC’s configuration
and allows you to change the configuration parameters.

Setup changes system behavior by modifying the power-on initialization parameters.
Setting incorrect values may cause the PC to fail at start-up. If this occurs, enter the
Setup program and use the Restore Defaults command to restore the Setup default
values, allowing the PC to recover.

To enter the PC’s Setup program, restart the PC and press F2 when the HP logo
screen (or the Summary screen) appears.
