    When the test is complete, continue with the next step.

  2. Did the diskette test fail while testing with a new diskette?
    Note: Answer Yes if you were not able to run the test because of the diskette errors.
    • Yes, continue with the next step.
    • No, go to step 5.
  3. Exchange the diskette drive. When complete, run the diskette test again.

    Did the diskette test fail again?

    • Yes, continue with the next step.
    • No, the original diskette drive was failing. This ends the procedure.
  4. Continue exchanging FRUs from the FRU list and running tests. If the FRUs fix the problem, this ends the procedure. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your next level of support.

  7. Recreate the information on the diskette or get a new diskette with the information. Retry the original task.
    • If the failure occurs again, continue with the next step.
