The Windows NT Event Viewer

The Windows NT SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If
there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the
Windows NT System Event Logger (Viewer).

Following is the procedure for viewing the Windows NT error log.

From the Main menu:

1.

Double click or select the Administrative Tools program group.

2.

Double click or select the Event Viewer. The display shows a list of
discrete events specifying the source name LP8NDS35 (NT SCSI
driver).

3.

Double click any event with the source name LP8NDS35.
