General CHECKOUT - Type 62xx-65xx/68xx and 2134-2176

This general checkout procedure is only for Type 62xx-65XX/68XX and 2134-2176 computers. This procedure is designed to be used with the Personal Computer Type 65XX and 68XX Diagnostic Diskette  or Diagnostics and Utilities CD  for 2134-2176 machines.

  The drives in the computer you are servicing might have been rearranged or the drive startup sequence changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.

Diagnostic error messages appear when a test program finds a problem with a hardware option. For the test programs to properly determine if a test Passed, Failed, or Aborted,  the test programs check the error-return code at test completion. See 'Return Codes'
General error messages appear if a problem or conflict is found by an application program, the operating system, or both. For an explanation of these messages, refer to the information supplied with that software package

 +---- Notes -------------------------------------------+
 | 1. Before replacing any FRUs, ensure the latest      |
 |    level of BIOS is installed on the System.         |
 |    A down-level BIOS may cause false errors and      |
 |    unnecessary replacement of the system board.      |
 |    For more information on how to determine and      |
 |    obtain the latest level BIOS, see BIOS levels     |
 | 2. If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose   |
 |    the first error code displayed.                   |
 | 3. If the computer hangs with a POST error, go to    |
 |    Symptom-to-FRU Index                              |
 | 4. If the computer hangs and no error is displayed,  |
 |    go to Undetermined Problem                        |
 | 5. If a device is not highlighted on the Module Test |
 |    menu, that device may be defective.               |
