the screen of the monitor.

appears, followed by a message telling you that the diag-
nostics is loading. Before the diagnostics loads into

If no errors are found in RAM, the diagnostics loads, and
the Diagnostics Menu appears (see Figure 5-1). The
menu allows you to run all or specific diagnostic tests or
to exit to the Dell Server Assistant CD main menu.
For a quick check of the system, select the Run Quick
Tests option. This option runs only the subtests that do
not require user interaction and that do not take a long
time to run. Dell recommends that you choose this option
first to increase the odds of tracing the source of the prob-
lem quickly. For a complete check of the system, select
the Run All Tests option. To check a particular area of the
system, select the Run Specific Tests option.
To select an option from the Diagnostics Menu, highlight
the option and press <Enter>, or press the key that corre-
sponds to the highlighted letter in the option you choose.
