2-8 Dell OptiPlex E1 Managed PC Service Manual

To run the diskette-based diagnostics, follow these steps:

Starting the diagnostics causes the Dell logo to appear on the monitor

screen, followed by a message indicating that the diagnostics is loading.

Before the diagnostics loads, a program tests the portion of main memory

(RAM) required for loading the diagnostics. If a main memory error is

detected, a message indicates which DIMM has failed. If no errors are

found in main memory, the diagnostics loads and the Diagnostics Menu

appears.

This menu lets you choose the following options or exit to the MS-DOS

prompt:

 Run Quick Tests — Runs selected tests from all test groups to quickly

locate a failure or to indicate where further testing is needed to isolate

a failure

 Run All Tests — Runs all tests for a thorough test of the system

 Run Specific Tests — Tests a particular area or subsystem

If the Diagnostics Menu does not appear, check the diskette drive connec-

tions, insert a copy of the diagnostics diskette into the diskette drive, and

reboot the system.

If the Diagnostics Menu still does not appear, proceed

to the next section, “Getting Help.”

For a complete description of the diskette-based diagnostics, see “Diskette-

Based Diagnostics” in the online

tem User’s Guide.

problem, call Dell for technical assistance. For instructions, see “Contacting

Dell” in the online
