runs a series of tests on the installed adapter, including
sending a series of test packets.
If any of these tests fail, then a problem exists, possibly with the
network cable or the connection.

EMDIAG
.
2
Remove the cable from the adapter.

Reattach the cable.

If a failure still occurs, see Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot
Problems, for additional troubleshooting tips.

EMDIAG
runs on only one adapter at a time. To learn
how to specify individual Adaptec PCI adapters with
EMDIAG
when more than one exists in a system, see
Chapter 5, Using EMDIAG to Troubleshoot Problems.
