Consider the following when you run the diagnostic programs from diskettes:

The diagnostic diskettes are labelled as to the devices and functions the 
diskettes contain. The following diskettes must be inserted in the order 
shown before the DIAGNOSTIC  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS will be displayed.

1.	Boot diskette
2.	Configuration diskette
3.	Graphics diskette 
        (optional if the system does not contain a graphics adapter)
4.	Console Definition diskette.

There are two different Boot diskettes, one for use in systems containing 
only 8MB of memory and one for use in systems containing a minimum of 16MB 
of memory. Only one diskette can be loaded.

There are several different graphics diskettes for configuring and testing 
graphics adapters. Use only the graphics diskettes for the type of graphics 
adapters installed in the system. For each type of graphics adapter 
installed in a system, you must load the graphics diskette which supports
that adapter in order to test it.

The diskette containing the graphics adapter that will be used as the 
console for running diagnostics should be loaded first. If there are other 
graphics adapter types installed in the system, load the diskette supporting
those adapters immediately following the first graphics diskette.

If a device installed in a system is not supported by one of the diskettes 
shipped with the system, check for the existence of a supplemental diagnostic 
diskette shipped with the device.

After the DIAGNOSTIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS are displayed, follow the displayed
instructions in order to test the device or to run a Service Aid.

The diagnostic programs shipped on diskettes with the system unit have a 
version number on the label. This Common Diagnostics and Service Guide also 
has a version number on the cover which should match the first two version 
number digits of the diskettes in order for diagnostics to work correctly. 
You can check the version of the diagnostic programs on the Diagnostic 
Operating Instructions.

When you load the diagnostic programs from diskettes, you may get the 
following messages on the three-digit display or on the console display:

	c01	Insert the first diagnostic diskette
	c02	Diskettes inserted out of sequence
	c03	The wrong diskette is in the diskette drive
	c05	A diskette error occurred
	c07	Insert the next diagnostic diskette
	c09	Diskette is being read or written
	c31	Select the console display.
