Using Apple Hardware Test

You can use Apple Hardware Test to help determine if there is a problem with your

iMac G5 computer’s hardware.

To use Apple Hardware Test:

1 Disconnect all external devices from your iMac G5 except the keyboard and mouse.

If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it.

2 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your iMac G5.

3 Restart your iMac G5 and hold down the Option key as it starts up.

4 Click Apple Hardware Test when the list of available startup volumes appears.

5 Click the right arrow.

6 When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow

the onscreen instructions.

7 If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the

error code before pursuing support options. If Apple Hardware Test does not detect a

hardware failure, the problem may be software-related.
