Testing The Operation; To Create A Diagnostic Floppy Disk - HP OmniBook 2100 Reference Manual

Troubleshooting

Testing the Operation

The OmniBook hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing:
Automated testing using the basic hardware test.
Advanced testing using the individual hardware tests.
The tests are designed to run after the system reboots. This ensures that the computer
will be in a predictable state, so the diagnostic program can properly test the
hardware components. The tests are non-destructive and are intended to preserve
the state of the computer. The OmniBook reboots when you exit the program so
drivers can be loaded.
