Test tab

The Insight Diagnostics utility provides the capability to test all the major pieces of hardware in the
system. You can select from several types of tests:
● Quick Test - Provides a predetermined script during which a sample of most hardware components
is exercised and requires no user intervention.
●
Complete Test - Provides a predetermined script during which most hardware components are
fully tested. You can select Interactive or Unattended tests. This will change the devices tested
during the Complete Test. More tests are available in the interactive mode, but these require user
intervention.
● Custom Test - Provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test
mode enables you to specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. You can
select tests that do not require any user interaction through the Interactive and Unattended test
modes. More tests are available in the interactive mode, but these tests require user intervention.
To begin testing:
1. Click the Test tab.
2. Select Type of Test to perform and then select Test Mode, either Interactive or Unattended.
