SCSI BUS Analyzer

This service aid enables you to diagnose a SCSI Bus problem in a free-lance mode.
To use this service aid, the user should understand how a SCSI bus works. Use this
service aid when the diagnostics cannot communicate with anything on the SCSI bus
and cannot isolate the problem. Normally the procedure for finding a problem on the
SCSI bus with this service aid is to start with a single device attached, ensure that it is
working, then start adding additional devices and cables to the bus, ensuring that each
one works. This service aid works with any valid SCSI bus configuration.
The SCSI Bus Analyzer Service Aid transmits a SCSI Inquiry command to a selectable
SCSI Address. The service aid then waits for a response. If no response is received
within a defined amount of time, the service aid displays a timeout message. If an error
occurs or a response is received, the service aid then displays one of the following
messages:
v The exerciser transmitted a SCSI Inquiry command and received a valid
response back without any errors being detected.
