TP 310,315 - PC Test Card LED

Applicable to: World-Wide

PC Test Card LED:
The green LED on the PC Test Card turns on when the PCMCIA test is running. If the LED does not turn on, check that the card is installed correctly by reseating the card. If it still does not turn on after it is reseated, try using another slot for the test. If the LED still does not turn on and the test fails, replace the FRU shown by the diagnostic error code.

Running Fan Diagnostics Program:
The system is equipped with sensors to protect against system overheating. By setting video controller and processor thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling fan or shut down automatically when temperatures reach the defined threshold parameters.

For systems experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown, you might need to reset the thermal sensor threshold (refer to "Setting Thermal Sensor Threshold" on page 34) and execute the fan test to ensure the cooling fan is operating normally.
Follow the steps below to use Fan Diagnostics Program:
1. Boot from the Diagnostic Program Disk.
2. Select Fan Diagnostics from PC DOS 7.0 Startup Menu.
3. Follow the instruction on screen to execute fan diagnostics.

Note:
If test failed, try reseating the fan connector or replacing the fan.
