Express Test Performs a quick test of system devices. The test typically

takes 10 to 20 minutes and requires no interaction on your

part. Run Express Test first to increase the possibility of

tracing the problem quickly.

Extended Test Performs a thorough check of system devices. The test

typically takes an hour or more and periodically requires

your input to answer specific questions.

Custom Test Tests a specific device in the system and can be used to

customize the tests you want to run.

Symptom Tree Lists a number of common symptoms and allows you to

select a test based on the symptom of the problem you are

having.

For any problem encountered during a test, a message appears with an error

code and a description of the problem. Write down the error code and

problem description exactly as it appears and follow the instructions on the

screen. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact Dell (see "Contacting Dell"

in your User’s Guide).

NOTE: The Service Tag for your computer is located at the top of each test screen.

When contacting Dell support, have your Service Tag ready.
