Chapter 5

Performing System Diagnostics

This chapter describes how to check the operation of the main unit and

peripheral devices of your Equity I+. You check these devices using System

diagnostics, option 4 on the OPERATION MENU.

Always run diagnostics after adding or removing optional devices, or if

you are unsure whether a device is performing correctly. You should also run

these tests after moving your computer from one place to another, and after
you replace the internal battery

Note: To run System diagnostics, boot your system with the diagnostics

diskette in drive A. Then select option 4 from the OPERATION

MENU. If you start this program in any other way, some tests may

produce strange results.

You can test the following 13 devices; each has a specific reference

number:

1 - System

2 - Memory
3 - Keyboard
4 - Monochrome display adapter and CRT

5 - Color graphics adapter and CRT

6 - Floppy disk drives and controller
