Following is the procedure for viewing the event log.

4. Double-click or choose the Event Viewer. The display shows a list of discrete

events specifying the source name:

•

For Windows 2000, specify CPQKGPSA.

5. Double-click any event with the source name.

6. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.

7. Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low byte with the

The Windows Miniport driver logs events and errors in the Windows Event log.

Serious errors are always logged. Informational events are only logged if the registry

parameter LogError=1 is used.

All Miniport logged events are issued with an Event ID of 11 (INTERNAL

ADAPTER ERROR) but do not necessarily indicate an HBA error occurred. Byte

offset 0x10 of the event is the driver event code. Byte offsets 0x11 to 0x13 contain

event-specific information.
