Factory-Installed Drive Devices

Use this check procedure to test any factory-installed drives.
Attention: The customer may have customized settings in the Setup
Utility (other than default settings) on the computer you are
servicing. Running the Setup Utility might alter those settings.
Note the current settings and verify that the customer settings
are in place when service is complete.
Note: If you cannot access the hard disk drive or load a diskette
from drive A or load a CD from the CD-ROM drive, make sure
the Setup Utility has the startup sequence set with Diskette,
CD-ROM, and Hard Disk enabled.
