Boot the Mac, insert the ASD 2.5.7 disc, then restart, holding down the Option key to select whether to boot from the ASD Open Firmware or from the OS boot volume. You need to boot from and run both in order to do a complete test of your Mac. Before booting from the ASD disc, peruse the Read Me file to learn how to run the calibration software, which is one of the options when you get booted to an ASD volume. Easy peasy.
