docking station. To test a USB device, connect it to the USB connector of the computer.
Testing the computer
In this product, you need an external optical drive to use the PC-Doctor diagnostic CD to test the hardware
features.
Note: The PC-Doctor for DOS CD-R/CD-RW disc supports only test of internal optical disc drives (CD-RW,
CD-RW/DVD Combo, and DVD Multi drives) on ThinkPad computers. It does not support test of any optical
disc drives connected through USB devices, PC cards, CardBus cards, or similar. The USB limitation only
applies to testing of the device. Using a bootable PC-Doctor for DOS CD/DVD, the system can be started
from a USB attached optical drive.
To run the test, do as follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Attach an external optical drive through the USB connector to the computer.
3. Set the external optical drive as a startup device.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Turn on the computer. If the computer cannot be powered on, go to "Power system checkout" on
page 33, and check the power sources.
If an error code appears, go to "Symptom-to-FRU index" on page 41.
6. When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F12 to enter the Boot Menu.
7. Insert the PC-Doctor CD into the external optical drive.
8. Press cursor keys to select ATAPI CDx (x: 0, 1, ...) and then press Enter.
