The SYSTAT command displays the system information you supply

when you run the Setup program. After you run Setup, you can type

SYSTAT

To start the diagnostics programs, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the computer and wait for a few seconds.

2. Place the reference diskette in drive A, and close the door of the disk

drive.

3. Turn on the computer.

When you turn the power on, the computer performs a self test and then

automatically starts the diagnostics program.

Whenever you turn on or reset the computer, the system performs a

built-in diagnostics program called the power-on self test. This test checks the

RAM (random access memory), keyboard, system board, and peripherals
before the computer begins normal operation.

If the self test finds a discrepancy between the equipment installed on the

computer and the equipment list maintained by the computer, the system

asks you to run the Setup program (on the reference diskette) to change the

equipment list.

For a complete description of the power-on self test and any error mes-

sages it may produce, refer to Appendix C.
