Overview of the Basic System Test

Overview of the Basic System Test
The basic system test is performed after hardware detection. The purpose of this test is
to verify the correct operation of the computer's main hardware components. For each
detected hardware component, the test will confirm that:
The component is powered on
•
The component has been initialized for use
•
The component is operating correctly under MS-DOS.
•
Unlike the advanced system tests, the basic system test is done automatically and no
user input or guidance is needed. This test phase is suitable for all types of users,
including novice and non-technical users.
Most of the computer's components are tested during the basic system test. To test
each component individually, use the advanced system tests (described in chapter 5).
