NOTE
Your system must be
runntng

in
order
to use the
diagnwicsprogram.
The diagnostics tests
one board at a time. Although the active
board by
default is the ISA board at the highest I/O address or the Micro Channel
board at the highest slot number, you may change the active board. The
screen header indicates the active board and its address.
t
The tests will fail if there is an address or interrupt conflict If the
diagnostics cannot determine your switch settings, there is probably a
conflict. In this case, try other address and/or interrupt settings.
For an ISA system, the diagnostics program displays IRQ, the base memory
address, and the base I/O address. You may modify the address and IRQ
selections from the diagnostics. The IRQ must be active, and you must
select a non-zero address. If you cannot determine a setting, call
Digi
Customer Support for assistance.
For a Micro Channel system, the diagnostics program displays the current
POS registers which identify the IRQ, the base memory address, and the
base
I/O
address. If any of these parameters need to be
changed, repeat
the procedure in Section
6
beginning with Step
