When you select Advanced Testing from the Diagnostics Menu, the following screen appears:
Advanced Testing Screen
Information in the Advanced Testing screen is presented as follows:
l Device Groups lists the diagnostic test groups in the order they will run if you select All from the Run tests menu option.
To select a test device group, press the up- or down-arrow key to highlight the group.
l Devices for Highlighted Group lists the computer's current hardware.
l Device groups menu bar contains the options Run tests, Devices, Select, Config, and Help
NOTE: The groups and devices listed in your screen can vary somewhat based on the components installed in your computer.
NOTE: The diagnostics may not list in the Device Groups area the names of all components or devices that are part of your computer system. For
example, it may not list a printer even though it is connected to your computer. However, the parallel port to which the printer is connected
appears in the Device Groups list. You can test your printer connection in the Parallel Ports tests.
