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 fixed disk drive cables, fixed disk drive controllers, fixed disks, or the system board assembly. If your system uses a drive array controller, see the section for Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD).
