The Diagnostic Test

This chapter explains how to use the Diagnostic Test program to test the functions of the
T2100/T2105 Series computer's hardware modules. The Diagnostics Program is stored on
the T2100/T2105 Series computer Diagnostic Disk and consists of 19 programs that are
grouped into the Service Program Module (DIAGNOSTIC MENU) and the Test Program
Module (DIAGNOSTICS TEST MENU).
NOTES: To start the diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Check all cables for loose connections.
2. Exit any application you may be using and close Windows.
3. Be sure the computer is not in virtual 86 mode. The test will not run in
that mode. If you try to run the test in virtual 86 mode, the following
message will display:

If the preceding message is displayed, remove memory managers from
your config.sys file. See your MS-DOS documentation for information
on the config.sys file.
