Using The Event Viewer
The Windows SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If there is a
failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows Event
log.
Following is the procedure for viewing the event log.
From the Main menu:
1. Double-click or choose the Administrative Tools program group.
2. Double-click or choose the Event Viewer.
3. Specify LPXNDS.
Note: You can find the source name in the SCSI device’s Disk Manager.
4. Double-click any event with the source name.
5. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.
6. Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low byte
with the error found in Table 5 on page 32, SCSI Port Error Log. Table 6 on
page 34, and Table 7 on page 35 list CmdStat values and Parameter error
values.
