information in the Support Ticket log file. Then remove the floppy disk, if present, and press F3
to exit.

Run the advanced tests. Press F2 to open the advanced test screen.
8. Select and run the appropriate tests. Tests are not listed if no such hardware is detected. Press the
following keys to run tests:
ENTER Runs the highlighted test.
F5 or SPACE Marks/unmarks the highlighted test.

If any test fails, the error is logged (error code and description) and displayed temporarily (error

on page 3-17 for repair suggestions. Consider these suggestions in combination with other
troubleshooting information.
