Performing System Diagnostics

This chapter describes how to check the operation of the main unit and
peripheral devices of your Equity I+. You check these devices using System
diagnostics, option 4 on the OPERATION MENU.
Always run diagnostics after adding or removing optional devices, or if
you are unsure whether a device is performing correctly. You should also run
these tests after moving your computer from one place to another, and after
you replace the internal battery
Note: To run System diagnostics, boot your system with the diagnostics
diskette in drive A. Then select option 4 from the OPERATION
