Net Vectra PC Users

If you are a Net Vectra PC user, the Hardware Diagnostics should
already be installed on your PC and be ready to use. To learn how to
run DiagTools on a Net Vectra PC, refer to "Starting DiagTools from the
Hard Disk Drive", on page 10.
Vectra PC & Kayak PC Workstation Users and Network
Administrators
For Vectra PC and Kayak PC Workstation users, as well as network
administrators, you must do the following before you can use
DiagTools:
1 Install the latest version of DiagTools on your PC.
2 Set up DiagTools so that it is ready for use. This means either
creating the diskette(s), or updating the Hardware Diagnostics files
on your Net Vectra PC.
There are two ways to run DiagTools:
From a flexible diskette or diskettes. The PC boots (or starts) from
•
a specially prepared diskette. This is appropriate for all PCs that
have a flexible disk drive. This is the most common way of using
DiagTools.
From the hard disk drive. In this case, you select the Hardware
•
Diagnostics option during startup. The Hardware Diagnostics utility
is installed on the hard disk drive. This is only appropriate for Net
Vectra PCs. Net Vectra PCs do not usually have a flexible disk drive.
DiagTools must not be run directly from your operating system.
DiagTools will only function under the DOS operating system and once
the correct drivers have been loaded.
