Appendix B
Performing System Diagnostics
This appendix describes how to use the System diagnostics
program to test the condition of your computer’s main unit and
peripheral devices. The diagnostics program provides tests to
check the following hardware:
System board
Memory
Hard disk drive(s)
Diskette drive(s)
Keyboard
Video adapter and monitor
Parallel and serial ports.
By changing settings on the System diagnostics main menu,
you can run the tests in several different ways. You can specify
a certain length of time to run a test, select to run it
continuously until you interrupt it, or specify a number of
times to run the test.
If an error occurs during a test, note the error message and
contact your Epson dealer. Your dealer may be able to solve the
problem; if not, see “Where to Get Help” in the Introduction for
technical support information.
