Checking the Connection with EMDIAG

After connecting the network cable to the adapter, use the EMDIAG
diagnostics utility to test your connection. For more information
about EMDIAG , see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot
Problems.
1
Type A:\EMDIAG and press Enter to start the Adaptec setup
program
2
At the Main Menu, select Diagnostics.
3
At the Test Options Menu, select Local Diagnostics.
4
Use the Tab key to select <Start> and press Enter. EMDIAG
runs a series of tests on the installed adapter, including
sending a series of test packets.
If any of these tests fail, then a problem exists, possibly with the
network cable or the connection.
In the event of a failure:
1
Exit from EMDIAG .
2
Remove the cable from the adapter.
3
Reattach the cable.
4
Reboot.
5
Run EMDIAG .
If a failure still occurs, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot
Problems, for additional troubleshooting tips.
Note:
EMDIAG runs on only one adapter at a time. To learn
how to specify individual Adaptec PCI adapters with
EMDIAG when more than one exists in a system, see
Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.
