Running Diagnostic Tests

You can run the following software diagnostic tests on the Octane2 workstation:
•

Power-On Tests

• Confidence Tests
• IDE Tests
Power-On Tests
These tests run automatically for the major hardware components each time you turn on
your workstation. If the power-on tests find a faulty component, the lightbar LED on the
front of your workstation turns red and an error message usually appears. For more
information, go to the beginning of this section and see "Using the LEDs on the
Lightbar."
Confidence Tests
There are confidence tests for the mouse, keyboard, monitor, audio subsystem, external
SCSI devices (excluding hard disks), Presenter, and ISDN connection.
To run the confidence tests, choose Toolchest > System > Confidence Tests. Double-click
the icon for the part you want to test, and follow the online instructions
