5.Notice
(1) Connection of RESET Line
Please make sure that the Reset Line (attached) of Diagnostics & Stability-Test
Card is well connected before usage. Plug the bigger terminal of the line in the
card and the smaller terminal in the RESET contact pin of the testing main board.
Plug the RESET line on the main board in the hole at the other end of this line if
you need to use RESET switch.
If the Reset Line that connect the Diagnostics & Stability-Test Card and main
board is not connected, only failure test will go on, and stability test will not. The
indicator light will mislead the user that the test computer is unstable.
(2) Power Cord of Hard Disk
Please remove the power cord from the hard disk before using Diagnostics &
Stability-Test Card, because the test computer has to be reset to change the test
circuit before starting stability test and avoid damage of data(system files) in the
hard disk caused by restarting. Starting the test without removing the power cord
from the hard disk means abnormal shutdown, and won’t cause any bad results.
