The Reference Diskette provides options for backing up and restoring the system diskettes, copying option diskettes, configuring Micro Channel adapters, and testing the computer. The PC Server 520 System Board Diagnostic Diskette provides diagnostic tests for the system board, disk drives, and other system components. The PC Server 520 Micro Channel Diagnostic Diskette provides diagnostic tests for Micro Channel adapters.
