PC Server 315 - General Checkout

Applicable to: World-Wide

This general checkout procedure is for computers that are supported by the QAPlus/PRO Diagnostics test.

Diagnostic error messages appear when a test program finds a problem test Passed, Failed, or Aborted. The test programs check the error-return code at test completion.

General error messages appear if a problem or conflict is found by an application program, the operating system, or both. For an explanation of these messages, refer to the information supplied with that software package.

NOTES:

1. If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code displayed.

2. If the computer reports a POST error, go to "Symptom-to-FRU Index."

3. If the computer hangs and no error is displayed, go to "Undetermined Problem."

4. If a device cannot be selected from the Module Test menu, that device might be defective.
