If you have run a diagnostics program, you see this selection:

- Exit and reset

In this case, when you press 0 and

Enter,

the system is reset. Before

selecting this option, remove the reference diskette from drive A and
insert your startup diskette so the system can boot normally. To boot from
your hard disk, be sure to remove the diskette from drive A.

This manual describes each menu item in the order it appears on the

OPERATION MENU.

Diagnostics and MS-DOS Commands

Each choice on the OPERATION MENU corresponds to an MS-DOS

command:

System diagnostics

DIAGSYS

Prepare hard disk for moving

HDSIT

You can copy these MS-DOS commands, with the exception of

DIAGSYS, to your hard disk or to a directory on another floppy disk. You
can then execute them as individual MS-DOS commands. To copy these
commands, use the COPY command described in your MS-DOS manual.

You can also execute the commands directly from the reference diskette,

without loading diagnostics. For example, if you are logged onto drive C,

and you want to prepare your hard disk for moving, follow these steps:

1. Insert the reference diskette into drive A.

2. In response to the C) prompt, type:

A : HDSIT

3.

Press

Enter.

To use the diagnostics program, DIAGSYS, you must always boot the

system with the reference diskette in drive A. If you attempt to start this

program in any other way, the tests may produce unreliable results.
