OmniBook DiagTools
The DiagTools hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing:
• User-level testing using a basic hardware test.
• Advanced testing using individual hardware tests.

The tests are designed to run after the system reboots, so that the computer will be in a predictable
state during the tests. The tests are non-destructive, and are intended to preserve the state of the
computer. The OmniBook reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded.
Updating DiagTools
You can download the latest version of DiagTools from the HP Notebook Web site (see page vi), then
follow the included instructions.
