The SCSI Bus 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 will display a timeout message. If an
error occurs or a response is received, the service aid will then display one of the
following messages:
