3.5 Troubleshooting
Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are as follows:
The firmware and BIOS revisions typically must be in sync for
proper operation.
Check with LSI Logic Technical Support to make sure that the Firmware
is the correct version to use with your BIOS. If the firmware revision is
not in sync with the BIOS revision, system failures may occur.
How do you identify the version number of the firmware?
The UNIX-compatible WHAT.EXE program for DOS included on your
distribution media can identify the ROM files on the diskette(s).
Examples:
what *.*
what *.* nt/*.*
Many types of errors are reported through the LED on the LSI Logic
Host Adapter boards.
When these errors occur, the LED flashes a four-digit sequence, which
is the error code. These types of errors should be reported to LSI Logic
Technical Support. The technical support representative will ask for
additional system configuration information, including the type of system
used, the FC configuration and type of peripherals (including version
numbers), and the sequence of events when the error occurred.
