4. Save the changes and exit the system setup program.
5. Insert the Dell System Software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
If your computer has a diskette drive attached, make sure that the drive does not
contain a diskette.
6. Restart the computer. The Dell Diagnostics run automatically.
NOTES: After running the Dell Diagnostics, to change the boot sequence, repeat
steps 1 through 4 and then restart your computer.
Before you read the rest of this subsection, you may want to start the Dell
Diagnostics so that you can see it on your display.
When you start the diagnostics, the Dell logo screen appears, followed by a message
telling you that the diagnostics is loading.
After the diagnostics loads, the Diagnostics Menu appears (see Figure 3-1). The
menu allows you to run all or specific diagnostic tests or to exit to the MS-DOS
prompt.
For a quick check of your computer, select the Quickly Test All Devices option. This
option runs only the subtests that do not require user interaction and that do not take
a long time to run. Dell recommends that you choose this option first to increase the
odds of tracing the source of the problem quickly. For a thorough check of your
computer, select the Fully Test All Devices option. To check a particular area of your
computer, select the Select Devices to Test option.
To select an option from this menu, highlight the option and press <Enter>, or press
the key that corresponds to the highlighted letter in the option you choose.
