Running tests
There are four ways to run the diagnostic tests.
• Using the cursor movement keys, highlight Run Normal Test or Run Quick Test from the Diagnostics
menu and then press Enter. This automatically runs a pre-dened group of tests from each test category.
Run Normal Test runs a more extensive set of tests than Run Quick Test does and takes longer to
complete.
• Press F5 to automatically run all selected tests in all categories.
• From within a test category, press Ctrl+Enter to automatically run only the selected tests in that category.
• Using the cursor movement keys, highlight a single test within a test category, and then press Enter.
This runs only that test.
Press Esc at any time to stop the testing process.
Test results (N/A, PASSED, FAILED, ABORTED) are displayed in the eld beside the test description and in
the test log. See “Viewing the test log” on page 15
.
To select one or more tests, do the following:

and removes the >>.
