The special symbols used in the Self Test Checker have these meanings:
The slash character (/) means the codes blink alternately, showing the type of
error and its location.
The letter X in the asterisked (*) items means a digit (1-9) will display.
Record the digit you see on the screen.
The ranges 1-16 and 1-2 in the asterisked (*) items mean a number in the
given range will display on the screen. Record the number that appears.
C.Turn the computer off. Perform Section C. of "Procedure #3: Powerup/Reset".
D.Start the self test: hold down the reset button on the front panel while you turn on
the power by pressing the power button on. This enables the self test. Release the
reset button.
E.Let the self test know your terminal’s baud rate.
The terminal you use for the self test must be plugged into one of the four serial
I/O ports on the CPU board. It cannot be attached to either of the two parallel
ports.
The numbers 80 and 82 mark the beginning of the test and they only appear on
the display for fraction of a second, followed by a steady 5b. When you see a
steady 5b, press your keyboard’s space bar several times. This tells the self test
your terminal’s baud rate so it can display messages at the correct baud rate.
F.Note which of the tests apply to your computer.
On the screen, the self test displays an inventory of your computer’s configuration
to let you know it will test only the components it has detected. You may want to
check these off on the Self Test Checker, shown in the table below.
G.Observe the front panel Status Display and the screen.
If a blinking error code appears on the front panel Status Display, check it off on
the Self Test Checker.
As each test finishes, note whether the component being tested passed or failed.
If an error occurs during the Memory Test, the addresses of the errors display on
the screen. Jot them down on the Self Test Checker.
H.Stop the self test at an appropriate time.
After the self test finishes testing all the devices, wait until it’s performing the
system configuration inventory again and press the reset button to end the test.
