PROGRAM, follow these steps:
1. Insert the diagnostics diskette #1 in the floppy disk drive and turn on the computer. (The
diagnostics diskette contains the MS-DOS boot files.) And then follow the instructions to swap
with the diagnostics diskette #2 for T&D program installed in RAM driver.
NOTE: To execute the CD test, make sure the CD is installed in the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
The T&D Program can run by single test item when you press corresponsive English letter of
