Running adapter diagnostics
Attention: To avoid potentially erroneous results, you should always perform a
power-on reboot of your computer before running the diagnostics.
You must create a Diagnostic diskette before you begin the diagnostics procedure.
You can build the diskette in either of two ways:
v Download and run the DIAGDISK.EXE located on the adapter CD-ROM.
1. Insert a blank, high-density diskette into your diskette drive (usually drive A).
2. Point your Web browser to x:\startcd.htm on the CD-ROM (where x is your
CD-ROM drive).
3. Select your adapter and click Downloads.
4. Select Diagnostics to download the executable.
5. Run the executable to create the Diagnostic diskette.
v Use Troubleshooting Utility to create the diskette. See “Building a Diagnostic
diskette” on page 41.
Running 4/16 Mbps diagnostics
Note: If there is more than one adapter installed in your computer, and if you have
not yet run the diagnostics, the 4/16 Mbps diagnostics will reboot your
computer after updating for the correct number of adapters.
Use the following procedure to run 4/16 Mbps diagnostics:
1. Insert the Diagnostic diskette in drive A and reboot your computer.
2. At the DOS Boot Menu, select IBM Token-Ring PCI Extended Diagnostics for
4/16 Mbps operation.
If the system will not boot with the adapter installed, but will boot without the
adapter, skip to step 6 on page 43.
