Error Log
Use the following steps to create an error log, run the
diagnostic tests, and automatically record any error
messages in an error log. This procedure is normally used
to diagnose an intermittent problem.
Notes:
1. The errors can be logged to a diskette drive, to a
hard disk drive, or to a printer.
(You cannot run any diskette test when logging to
a diskette drive.)
2. OS/2 systems must be logged to a diskette drive.
Creating the Error Log
1. Load the diagnostics diskette from drive A.
2. Press 1 (Test the System), then press Enter.
3. Press N to answer the test diskette question, then
press Enter.
4. Press Y or N (Is this list correct?), then press
Enter.
5. Press 3 (Start Error Log), then press Enter.
6. Press 1 to log to a diskette or hard disk, or press 2 to
log to a printer, then press Enter.
7. If you are logging to a hard disk drive, press C, D, E,
or F (Enter the error log drive ID), then press
Enter. Go to “Starting the Test” below.
8. If you are logging to a diskette, press A or B (Enter
the error log drive ID), then press Enter.
9. Verify that the diagnostic diskette is installed in the
error log drive, A or B, and that it is not
write-protected, then press Enter.
Starting the Test
1. Press 2 (Run tests MULTIPLE times), then press
Enter.
2. Press Enter at the Diagnostic Test Select Menu to
run all tests.
3. Select the number of times to run the tests, then
press Enter.
4. Press N (Wait each time an error occurs? (Y/N)),
then press Enter.
5. Follow any instructions on the screen and select any
requested tests.
Note: Do not press any keys during the
keyboard test.
6. To end a continuous test, press Ctrl+C. The
computer completes testing, then returns to the
System Checkout menu.
