The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and
mouse are attached to the server. If no mouse or a USB mouse is attached to the
server, you cannot use the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons to select categories. All
other mouse-selectable functions are available through function keys. You can use
the regular keyboard test to test a USB keyboard, and you can use the regular
mouse test to test a USB mouse. You can run the USB interface test only if no USB
devices are attached. The USB test will not run if a Remote Supervisor Adapter II
SlimLine is installed.
To view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory
contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device
drivers, and so on), select Hardware Info from the top of the screen.
Diagnostic text messages
Diagnostic text messages are displayed while the tests are running. A diagnostic
text message contains one of the following results:
Passed: The test was completed without any errors.
Failed: The test detected an error.
User Aborted: You stopped the test before it was completed.
Not Applicable: You attempted to test a device that is not present in the server.
Aborted: The test could not proceed because of the server configuration.
Warning: The test could not be run. There was no failure of the hardware that was
being tested, but there might be a hardware failure elsewhere, or another problem
prevented the test from running; for example, there might be a configuration
problem, or the hardware might be missing or is not being recognized.
The result is followed by an error code or other additional information about the
error.

Notes:
1. To save the test log to a diskette, you must use a diskette that you have
formatted yourself; this function does not work with preformatted diskettes. If
the diskette has sufficient space for the test log, the diskette can contain
other data.
2. The test-log data is maintained only while the diagnostic programs are active.
When you exit from the diagnostic programs, the test log is cleared. Save the
test log to a file on a diskette or to the hard disk if you want to refer to it later.
