User’s GuideDiagnostic Card PC Analyzer Version 4.0 PCI User’s Guide Model: postcard_40 For use only in a desktop model computer with PCI slot 1 User’s Guide INTRODUCTION Diagnostic Card is a powerful diagnostic tool for technicians and administrators to troubleshoot various problems of IBM compatible PCs. It is easy to install, yet extremely powerful to use. With Diagnostic Card in hand, you no longer have to go through tedious and time consuming process of trying to figure out what is wrong with your PC hardware. Diag nostic Card will tell you exactly what is wrong with your PC in just seconds. It saves you time and money. Our new and improved design of diagnostic card can work with almost all popular types of CPUs, Motherboards, and BIOS. All though we tr y, it is not possible to update this manual ever y time a new motherboard is made by the manufactures. It is always advised to visit the bios manufacture website, and download the latest codes per bios revision. Or visit bioscentral.com for an online reference. System Requirements The Diagnostic Card itself only requires an empty PCI expansion slot. It is not necessary to install memory chips to perform analysis. “POST Codes” can be displayed through the hexadecimal display panel on the Diagnostic Card itself. Tech Support l Tech Support 1-888-359-0747 [email protected] Diagnostic Card INDICATORS Two ‘Indicators’ are any light emitting diode s (LED) or hexadecimal displa y panel that may be mounted on an Diagnostic Card. This section discusses the follo wing indicators that appear on the Diagnostic Card: l POST Code Display l PCI BUS SIGNALS LEDs POST Code Display The POST Code Display is made up of a dual, dot matrix hexadecimal read -out that displays Power On Self Test (POST) status codes. Power On Self-Test (POST) Codes Most AT and 386 computers (and a few XT computers) output status codes during POST. The Diagnostic Card displays these codes during and after PO ST. Refer to Appen dix A for a comprehensive listing of POST codes provided by BIOS manufacturers. 2 Power Supply. Flashes when an TRDY signal is detected. Power Supply. I/O Ready. PCI Bus Frame. Reset.

RESET 5V 3V3 INSTALLING Diagnostic Card Installation Procedure TO INSTALL A Diagnostic Card: 1) Install the Diagnostic Card in any available PCI expansion slot. POST performs a tightly interwoven initialization and testing process for each of these methods. but it typically does not test or initialize memory above 64K for warm boot. The number showing in the hexadecimal display on the Diagnostic Card is the number of the test in which POST failed. THE POST PROCESS The ROM built onto the motherboard of the computer rums its built -in POST (Power-On Self-Test) when you switch power on to the computer. press the reset button on the computer. 4 . NOTE: A few machines use the parallel port to display POST codes instead of the Diagnostic Card. s ystem POST has detected a fatal fault and stopped. the hexadecimal displa y should show the various POST codes as the system executes (unless it has a rare BIOS that does not display POST codes). If the machine does not boot.User’s Guide POST Codes When the machine is turned on. Power-On Self-Test (POST) codes begin displaying on the Diagnostic Card’s hexadecimal displays (for most machines). Refer to Appendix A for a listing of POST codes. You can get an even better idea of the detailed pr ocess by studying the POST code listings in Appendix A.
