Front Panel Status Codes (continued)
For more information on status display codes, and on how your own programs can send a number to the
status display, please refer to the
System Operator's Guide
.
Other status codes can appear during Self Test; these codes are discussed in the
System Self Test User's
Guide
that came with your computer.
SELF TEST FEATURE
One of your computer's most helpful features is its ability to test itself and check its major hardware
components for proper operation. The major purpose of this diagnostic test is to check all hardware
whose failure might prevent your computer from operating properly, and to assure you all hardware
components are working correctly.
If the diagnostic test reports a problem, you can contact your Alpha Micro VAR for help. Tell your VAR
the information displayed by the diagnostic test; it will help the technicians give you quick service by
narrowing the problem down to a specific piece of hardware within the computer.
Because the operation of the self test and the codes displayed by the self test differ depending on the
version of the boot PROMs contained in your computer, the appropriate self test information for your
computer can be found in the
System Self Test User's Guide
that was shipped with your computer.
