Figure 3-2. Diagnostic Screens — Basic and Advanced
The tests are designed to run after the system reboots, so that the notebook will be in a predictable
state during the tests. The tests are non-destructive, and are intended to preserve the state of the
notebook. The notebook reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded.
