Dell Diagnostics Main Screen Overview

When you select Select Devices to Test from the Diagnostics Menu, the main screen of the diagnostics appears
(see

Figure 2

). The main screen lists the diagnostic test device groups, lists the devices of the selected device group,

and allows you to select categories from a menu. From this screen, you can enter two other types of screens.

Information on the main screen of the diagnostics is presented in the following five areas:

Two lines at the top of the screen identify the version number of the Dell Diagnostics.

On the left side of the screen, the Device Groups area lists the diagnostic test groups in the order they will run
if you select All from the Run tests menu category. Press the up- or down-arrow key to highlight a test device
group.

On the right side of the screen, the Devices for Highlighted Group area lists the computer's currently
detected hardware and some of the relevant settings.

The lower-right side of the screen displays information about your integrated drive electronics (IDE) hard-disk
and CD-ROM drive(s).

Two lines at the bottom of the screen make up the menu area. The first line lists the categories you can select;
press the left- or right-arrow key to highlight a menu category. The second line gives information about the
category currently highlighted.

NOTE: The options displayed on your screen should reflect the hardware configuration of your computer.
