Test Tab
The Test tab allows you to choose various parts of the system to test.
You can also choose the type of test and testing mode.
There are two test modes to choose from:
■ Interactive Mode—Provides maximum control over the testing
process. The diagnostic software will prompt you for input during
tests that require your interaction.You may also determine
whether the test passed or failed.
■ Unattended Mode—Does not display prompts and requires no
interaction. If errors are found, they are displayed when testing is
complete.
There are three types of tests to choose from:
■ Quick Test—Provides a predetermined script where a sample of
each hardware component is exercised and requires no user
intervention in either Unattended or Interactive mode.
■ Complete Test—Provides a predetermined script where each
hardware component is fully tested. There are more tests
available in the Interactive mode, but these require user
intervention.
■ Custom Test—Provides the most flexibility in controlling the
testing of a system. The Custom Test mode allows you to
specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are
run.

(Quick, Complete, or Custom).
