Running Computer Checkup (TEST)
NOTE: Computer Checkup (TEST) will detect Compaq hardware. Devices from other
manufacturers may not be detected.
TEST, the primary diagnostics utility, confirms whether the various workstation devices are
recognized by the system and are functioning properly. Use TEST in the following instances:
Quick Check Diagnostics runs a quick, general test on each device with a minimal
number of prompts. If errors occur, they are displayed when the test is complete.
Automatic Diagnostics runs unattended and provides maximum testing of each device
with minimal prompts. You can choose how many times to run the tests, to stop on errors,
or to print or file an error log.
Prompted Diagnostics allows maximum control over the device testing process. You can
choose attended or unattended testing, stop on errors, or print or file an error log.
The TEST option, which may vary by product, checks the following:
CPU (main system)
Memory
Keyboard
Pointing device interface
Parallel interfaces
Graphics controllers
Diskette drives
Fixed disks
Serial interfaces
Installed Compaq devices (tape drive, SCSI device, or network status)
NOTE: You must create a diagnostics diskette before you can run TEST. See "Creating a
Diagnostics Diskette" in the "Computer Setup and Diagnostics Utilities" section under
"Diagnostics Utilities."
