Adaptec AHA-2740W User Manual page 79

When I tried to use the format/verify utility on a disk device, I got an Unexpected SCSI
Command Failure pop-up box with a lot of error information. What does this mean?
This probably means that the utility encountered a problem with the
disk device or the media and therefore cannot run. The following
information appears in the pop-up window:
SCSI Target ID of the device
SCSI CDB Sent (e.g., 2F 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00)
Host Adapter Status (e.g., 11h - Selection timeout)
Target Status (e.g., 00h - Good status)
Sense Key (e.g., 06h - Unit attention)
Additional Sense Code
Additional Sense Code Qualifier
You can probably determine from the Sense Key information both
the cause of the problem and its solution. The following are some of
the more common Sense Key values and their meanings:
02h - Not ready
The media is not ready to format. Be sure that media is inserted
in the drive and that the media is spun up.
03h - Medium error
The disk media may be defective. If it is a removable media
drive, try using a different media. If it is a fixed disk drive, the
disk may be physically damaged.
04h - Hardware error
The disk drive may be defective. Consult the hardware
documentation and contact the manufacturer.
05h - Illegal request
The Adaptec formatting utility does not support a low-level
format of this device. The device may already be low-level
formatted by the manufacturer. (This error rarely occurs.)
06h - Unit Attention
The removable media may be write-protected. Remove write
protection and run the utility again.
The Additional Sense Code field provides more information about
the error. The meaning of these codes may be listed in your
hardware manual.
