Troubleshooting Guide

Drive Protection System (DPS)

When the computer does not power on properly you should use 
Computer Setup to access the DPS program. To access DPS, perform 
the following steps:

1. Turn on or restart the computer.

2. When the F10 Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of 

the screen, press the 

 key.

✎

If you do not press the 

 key while the message is displayed, you 

must turn the computer off, then on again, to access the utility.

A choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities 
menu: File, Storage, Security, Power, and Advanced.

3. Select Storage > IDE DPS Self-Test.

The screen will display the list of DPS-capable hard drives that 
are installed on the computer.

✎

If no DPS capable hard drives are installed, the IDE DPS Self-Test 
option will not appear on the screen.

4. Select the hard drive to be tested and follow the screen prompts to 

complete the testing process.

When the test has been completed, one of three messages will be 
displayed:

■

Test Succeeded. Completion Code 0.

■

Test Aborted. Completion Code 1 or 2.

■

Test Failed. Drive Replacement Recommended. Completion 
Code 3 through 14.

If the test failed, the completion code should be recorded and reported 
to your service provider for help in diagnosing the computer problem.
