Starting the Diagnostic Program

Always run diagnostic tests with no device drivers or memory
managers (EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS) installed. Whenever
you plan to run the diagnostic tests, you must first start your
computer from a DOS diskette containing no device drivers, or
you must exit to DOS if you have an operating system other
than DOS. (Refer to the section "Accessing DOS" in Chapter 3.)
To use the 3C59X EtherDisk diskette Configuration and
Diagnostic Program, follow these steps:
1 In the main menu, select Configuration/Diagnostic/
Troubleshooting and press [Enter].
Refer to Chapter 3 for instructions for accessing the main menu.

select Configuration and Diagnostic Program, and press
[Enter].
If you are testing multiple adapters, a screen displaying
descriptions of each installed adapter appears. Select the
adapter you want to test and press [Enter]. A screen appears,
showing the selected adapter.
