4. If no keyboard keys are pressed, and if POST is completed
without errors, the system will then proceed with the loading
of DOS or other operating system from diskette drive A or a

If any errors are detected by POST, there will be an error
message accompanied with an error code shown on display

Diagnostics Tools

IMPORTANT: This manual is intended to test the IBM Machine
Types 2193, 2194, 2196, 2197, 6344 and 6345
only. Testing devices which are not included
with the original product package, including
other IBM products, prototype cards, or
modifying hardware settings may give false
errors and invalid system responses. The
diagnostics not specifically made for this model
may also report incorrect errors and information.
The diagnostics program comes on a CD (compact disk) along
with this book. This version of PC-Doctor diagnostics program,
developed by Watergate for IBM, is the primary method of
testing the computer. You can use it to test the IBM
components of the system and some external devices. The
amount of time required to test components depends on the
number of components installed and selected. The more
devices you have attached to your system and selected in PC-
Doctor, the longer the testing will take.
