process. The diagnostic software will prompt you for input during
tests that require your interaction.You may also determine whether
the test passed or failed.

interaction. If errors are found, they are displayed when testing is
complete.

n
Quick Test-
Provides a predetermined script where a sample of each
hardware component is exercised and requires no user intervention in
either Unattended or Interactive mode.

hardware component is fully tested. There are more tests available in
