PC Server 315 - Test Programs

Applicable to: World-Wide

The QAPlus/PRO test programs on the "PC Server System Board Diagnostic Diskette," developed by DiagSoft for IBM, are the primary method of testing the PC Server. You can use them to test the IBM components of the system and some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you have attached to the system, the longer the testing takes.

Diagnostic programs from the QAPlus/PRO MAIN MENU include the following features.
