Introduction

This booklet describes how to use the diagnostics program,

called DIAG, to test the condition of your computer’s main unit

and peripheral devices, The DIAG program provides tests to
check the following hardware:

System board

Memory

Hard disk drive

Diskette drive

Keyboard

Video adapter board and monitor

Printer and communications ports

After you start the diagnostics program, you can create a
database that records the location of faulty memory chips, if any

exist. This database displays a graphic representing your

computer’s memory board and identifies the faulty chips.

Once you select a test, you need to specify how long to run it.

You use the Run Time Parameters window to specify a certain

length of time to run the test, run it continuously until you

interrupt it, or specify a number of times to run the test.
