How to Use the Diagnostic Utility 6-3
How to Use the Diagnostic Utility
The diagnostic utility is a DOS program. It can be run directly
from the ATMDisk diskette or copied, with its help file, to the
system hard drive and run from a directory of your choice.
The diagnostic utility must be run from DOS with no network
drivers loaded. Table 6-1 describes the suggested method of
accessing DOS from your network operating system (NOS).
The diagnostic utility cannot be run from an MS-DOS window.
Starting the Diagnostic Utility
This guide documents the internal and external test
procedures separately.
Make sure that the 3C975 ATMLink NIC is firmly seated in a
functional PCI slot before running the diagnostic utility. (See
Chapter 2 for hardware installation details.)
To run the diagnostic utility directly from the ATMDisk diskette,
perform the following procedure:
1 Shut down all applications and processes running on the
Windows NT or NetWare system, and exit to DOS as
described in Table 6-1.
2 Insert the appropriate ATMDisk diskette in the floppy drive.
3 Change to the root directory of the floppy drive and type:
3C975CFG.EXE [Enter]
