Running the Diagnostics

From the Hard Drive

Use the following steps to run the Diagnostics utility from your hard
drive:

1

Make sure

himem.sys

and

emm386.exe

are currently in

config.sys

and that files=30 is present.

If they are not, add the following lines to the top of the

config.sys

file:

device=c:\dos\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe /noems
files=30

Type the path to the DOS programs if it is not found in

c:\dos

.

2

Create a directory for the diagnostics on your hard drive.

3

Copy all files in this directory to the new diagnostics directory
of the hard drive.

4

At the DOS prompt, type

go_diags

and then press Enter.

Note:

The easiest way of testing a DuraLAN NIC is running

the Selftest.

From the Floppy Drive

3

Copy all the files in this directory to the root directory of the
DOS boot diskette.
