Configuration Information

When you boot the computer from your diagnostics dis-
kette, the diagnostics checks your system configuration
information and displays it in the System Configuration area on
the main screen.
The following sources supply this configuration informa-
tion for the diagnostics:
•
The system configuration information that you
selected through the system setup options
•
Identification tests of the microprocessor, the video
controller, the keyboard controller, and other key
components

information temporarily saved in RAM
Do not be concerned if the System Configuration area
does not list the names of all the components or devices
you know are part of the computer. For example, you
may not see a printer listed, although you know one is
attached to the computer. Instead, the printer is listed as a
parallel port. The computer recognizes the parallel port
as LPT1, which is an address that tells the computer
where to send outgoing information and where to look
for incoming information. Because your printer is a
parallel communications device, the computer recognizes the
printer by its LPT1 address and identifies it as a parallel port.
