Load the diagnostic according to load procedures on page 5-1, or 5-2, by selecting file name 'fd02/fdtest'. The following tests will verify that the flexible disk subsystem is operating properly. A default test sequence has been selected for quick diagnosis. Optional tests are listed in Table 5-5, and are for more specific trout[eshooting. If an error is encountered during the execution of the following tests, the flexible disk drive, CLA, or cable will usually repair the fault. Always
suspect meC[a first.
After the test has been loaded, the following will appear in the upper left corner of your screen.

Diagnostics ImRD MSI DIAQIOttIC
The hard disk diagnostic provides a means to verify that the hard disk system is working properly. There are two default test for testing the integrity of the hard disk(s). The first default test is the HO.l'i!iCf test. If the protect test is not selected the diagnostic pranpts for selection of the se<X>nd default test which is the REAI7l'Sl'.
The protect test is used to read and write all disk blocks, while ensuring the integrity of customer data stored on the disk. The read test also checks data integrity on the hard disk, but does no writes.
This test runs much faster than protect, and is, therefore, a good quick disk verification test. Both the protect and the read test default to run in a sequential buffered mode. SEquential means that blocks are tested in order starting fran S'lARl' BUXlC to JII) BWCK. Mfered means that reads and writes of many blocks are done at a time. This decreases the time it takes for the test to carplete.
The default protect and read tests described above are able to locate blocks on the hard disk that are bad. They don't test the capmility of the drive to seek to a random cylinder and read a specified block.
It is recanended that the seek test be run if the protect or read tests run error free. The seek test can detect problEIIE associated with head settling time, and head movement, better than the protect or read tests.
