Test tab
The Test tab enables you to choose various parts of the system to test. You can also choose the type of test
and testing mode. There are three types of tests to choose from:
• Quick Test—Provides a predetermined script for which a sample of each hardware component is
tested. Quick Test requires no user intervention in either Unattended or Interactive mode.
• Complete Test—Provides a predetermined script in which each hardware component is fully tested.
You can select Interactive or Unattended tests, which will change the devices tested during the
Complete Test. Most tests are available in Interactive mode but require user intervention.
• Custom Test—Provides the most flexibility in controlling testing. Custom Test mode enables you to
specifically select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. You can select tests that do not
require any user interaction using the Interactive or Unattended test modes. More tests are available
in Interactive mode but require user intervention.
To begin testing:
1. Click the Test tab.
2. Select Type of Test to perform, and then select Interactive or Unattended as the test mode.

perform. If you want to run the diagnostic test for a specified time period, enter the amount of
time in minutes.

to display additional information about the type of error and the error code.
To view all test failure information, select Error Log. To view the status of all testing that has been
performed, click the Log tab.

After testing is complete, the Cancel Testing button is replaced with two buttons, Select New Tests and
