Use the following procedure to isolate the diskette problem to a controller, drive or diskette. A scratch, write-enabled 2HD diskette is required.
  1.  Select the icon FDD on the TEST MENU. By  doing this, the controller test and the drive  read/write test run.  If the controller test detects an error, FRU code 10 appears.  In this case, replace the system board.
  2.  If the controller test run without errors,  follow the instructions on the screen and insert a scratch  diskette.
  3.  If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 appears.  If the diskette media are known to be good, replace the drive or the  drive cable.
