Diskette Drive Test
Diskette Drive Test
Do the following to isolate the problem to a
controller, drive, or diskette. A scratch, write enabled,
non-defective 2HD diskette is required.
NOTE: Make sure that the diskette does not have more than one label
attached to it. Multiple labels can cause damage to the drive
or can cause the drive to fail.
- Do following to select the test device:
- Select the advanced diagnostic mode and
select Tool, then
select the icon FDD
and press the space key.
A OK mark appears next to the selected icon.
Insert the blank diskette when instructed.
- Run the diskette drive test.
- If the controller test detects an error, FRU code 10 appears.
Replace the system board.
- If the controller test runs without errors,
the drive read/write tests start automatically.
- If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50
appears.
If the diskette itself is known to be good, replace the drive.
If no errors occur at the FDD position, the drive is not defective.
