Navigation

The Insight Diagnostics home page contains the following tabs: Survey, Test, Status, Log, and

Help. These tabs separate the major functions of Insight Diagnostics.

Survey tab

When you click the Survey tab, the Survey menu displays and enables you to view important system

configuration information. The Summary view limits the amount of data displayed, while the

Advanced view shows all the data in the selected category. Regardless of whether you choose

Advanced or Summary, the following categories of information are available on the Survey menu:

Overview—Lists general information about the computer.

All—Lists all information about the computer.

Architecture—Shows the type of bus the computer uses, and BIOS information. In addition, if the bus

is PCI, information about the PCI configuration is displayed.

Asset Control—Shows the serial number of the computer, and provides processor information.

Communication—Shows information about the computer parallel (LPT) and serial (COM) port settings,

USB, and network controller information.

Graphics—Shows information about the graphics subsystem of the computer.

Input Devices—Shows information about the type of keyboard and mouse.

Memory—Shows information about all memory in the computer, including memory on the board and

any memory modules installed.

Miscellaneous—Shows information obtained from the computers configuration memory (CMOS), BIOS

data area, Interrupt Vector table, and diagnostics component information.

Storage—Shows information about storage media connected to the computer, including all fixed disks,

floppy drives, and CD-ROM drives.

System—Shows product type, processor type and speed, and coprocessor information, and information

about all ROMs in the computer.

Test tab

The Insight Diagnostics utility enables you to test all the major pieces of hardware in the system. You

can select from several types of tests:

Quick Test—Provides a predetermined script in which a sample of most hardware components is

exercised and requires no user intervention.

Complete Test—Provides a predetermined script in which most hardware components are fully tested.

You can select Interactive or Unattended tests, which will change the devices tested during the Complete

Test. More tests are available in Interactive mode, but these require user intervention.

Custom Test—Provides the most flexibility in controlling the testing of a system. The Custom Test mode

enables you to select which devices, tests, and test parameters are run. You can select tests that do

not require any user interaction through the Interactive or Unattended test modes. More tests are

available in Interactive mode, but these require user intervention.
