Troubles hooting
Similar formatting utilities for removable media devices are
included in the Adaptec EZ-SCSI software package for the
DOS!\Vindows environment. Refer to Chapter Five, I/O Oper-
ating Environment Software. These utilities are also available
from the Adaptec BBS.
6 If your host adapter is an AHA-1540C, make sure sw5 is in
the On/Closed position. The switch must remain in that posi-

tem Boot (INT 19h) Controlled by Host Adapter BIOS option
is enabled. Some older system boards assume that your disk
device is an IDE floppy or fixed disk drive, and they will not
boot if they detect other kinds of drives. (See Advanced Config-
uration Options in Chapter Four.)
When I tried
to
use the FormaWerify utility on a disk device, I got an
Unexpected SCSI Command Failure pop-up box with a lot of error

@
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., OOh - Good status)
<Ill
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. Here are some of the
more common Sense Key values and their meanings:
