problems.
Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only IBM
products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or modified

possible.
2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate the
failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating
the same operation.
Note: To run the diagnostics, refer to "How to Run
the Diagnostics" on page 229.
