Error Log (2618)



Error Log

Use the following steps to create an error log, run the diagnostic tests, and automatically record any error messages in an error log. This procedure is normally used to diagnose an intermittent problem.

NOTE: The errors must be logged to a diskette drive or to a printer. If recording errors on a diskette, use a copy of the Advanced Diagnostics diskette that is not write-protected. Do not run any diskette tests when logging to a diskette drive. Do not run a parallel port test when logging to a printer.

Creating the Error Log 
  1.  Insert the Advanced Diagnostics diskette into the diskette drive.
  2.  Press 0 (SYSTEM CHECKOUT), then Enter.
  3.  Depending on the options installed in the  computer, questions about attached devices might  appear on the display. Answer as required; then press Enter.
  4.  Press Y or N (IS THE LIST  CORRECT (Y/N)?), then Enter.
  5.  Press 2 (LOG UTILITIES), then Enter.
  6.  Press 0 (START ERROR LOG), then Enter.
  7.  Press 0 or 1 (LOG TO DISKETTE, OR PRINTER  (0/1)?), then Enter.
  8.  If you are logging to diskette,  press A (ENTER THE DRIVE ID FOR ERROR LOG?),  then Enter.
  9.  Press 9 (END LOG UTILITIES), then Enter.
