Diagnostic Programs A-3

Distribution Diskette

The diagnostic diskette contains these files:

• platform.exe
• localx86.bin
• help.txt
• help.idx
• readme.doc
• @6141.ADF
• !emu0000.cfg
• !emu0008.cfg

Check the diskette to make sure all these files are present, then make a
backup copy of the diagnostic diskette for regular use. If you plan to run
diagnostics from a hard drive, create a subdirectory on the hard disk and,
copy the files into that subdirectory. Place the original Emulex diskette in a
safe place.
