Using the Self-Test Diagnostics

The PX-708A contains a set of self-test diagnostics that can help isolate
trouble and determine if a problem is in the drive or elsewhere.
NOTE: Using the self-test diagnostics requires opening the computer and
removing a cable from the drive, then replacing the cable at the end of
the test. If you previously installed the PX-708A in your computer, you
should have no fear of the simple procedures that are required. However,
if you're are not comfortable with opening your PC and disconnecting
cables, you may want to let someone with more experience handle this
aspect of troubleshooting for you.
To perform the tests you'll need:
• Tools to remove the computer's cover
• An extra jumper (supplied)
• A blank piece of Plextor-recommended DVD+R, DVD-R, or CD-R
media. (See "Recommended Media" on page 50, or visit our web
site.) The self-test will write to this media, so you won't be able to
use this disc again.
