SCSI Fixed Disk Drive Test Error Codes
The 6500 series of Diagnostic error codes identifies failures with SCSI fixed disk drives,
SCSI fixed disk drive controller boards, SCSI fixed disk drive cabling, and system board
functions. Corrective action may require replacement of the fixed disk drive cables, fixed
disk drive controller, fixed disk, or system board assembly. If your system uses a drive
array controller, see the section for Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD).
