* The diagnostic test is more thorough if you use a loop-back connector.
** The test checks only the internal hardware up to the mini-PCI card, and does not check the mini-PCI
panel or any external cabling.
†
Use an appropriate external device (such as the expansion base) to exercise the port. See the help
text for the tests in the menu.
