The Diagnostic Test

This chapter explains how to use the T2150 series Diagnostic Test program to test the func-
tions of the T2150 series hardware modules. The Diagnostics Program is stored on the
T2150 series Diagnostic Disk. The Diagnostic Test consists of 8 programs that are grouped
into the Service Program Module (DIAGNOSTIC TEST MENU) and the Test Program
Module (DIAGNOSTIC TEST).
NOTE: To start the diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Check all cables for loose connections.
2. Exit any application you may be using and close Windows.
3. Be sure the computer is not in virtual 86 mode. The test will not run in that mode.
If you try to run the test in virtual 86 mode, the following message will be dis-
played:
Cannot execute in a virtual 8086 mode.
If the preceding message is displayed, remove memory managers from your
config.sys file. See your MS-DOS documentation for information on the config.sys
file.
4. Go to drive C and at the DOS prompt C:\>, type TDIAGS. MS-DOS loads the
diagnostic test and displays the following screen:

5. To execute the program type Y; to exit, type N.
