S/390 Advanced Diagnostics and Options Diskette (Type 8641)

The Advanced Diagnostics and Options Diskette is a self-booting diskette that contains the P/390 diagnostic programs. The diagnostics programs are designed to be used with the diagnostics diskette and diagnostic information in the IBM PS/2 Hardware Maintenance manual for the computer you are servicing. The results of the diagnostic tests are reported as a success or failure.

To run the P/390 diagnostic programs, do the following.

NOTE: First run the diagnostics program for the computer you are servicing. If the P/390 card is recognized by the configuration program (the P/390 appears on the installed devices list), the diagnostics program will instruct you to run the P/390 Diagnostics and Option diskette. If the P/390 card is not recognized by the configuration program (does not appear on the installed devices list), go to 'Error Reporting P/390'

Power-off the computer, then power-off all external devices.

3. Select E to run the diagnostic programs with expanded messages.
  The diagnostic program will test the adapter and terminate with the message P/390 in slot X successfully passed all tests or a failure message that includes an error message and error code. The error code will identify the failing FRU.

  1. ) The adapter card, excluding the memory card.
  2. ) The memory card
  3. ) Both the adapter card and the memory daughter card (when the failure cannot be isolated).
