Hi John,

Maybe switch the error message from "Bytes" view to "Words" view and then
see if you can identify the device ID per the procedure in the following
link.

Microsoft Window NT Installation: Ultra160 Family Manager Set User's Guide

Error Messages

Error messages generated by the adpu160m.sys driver can be viewed by opening
the Windows NT Event Viewer error logs.

To view events generated by the driver, follow these steps:

Double-click the Event Viewer icon in the Administrative Tools program
group.
Error messages generated by the driver show up as Event ID 11. Error
messages generated by the SCSI port show up as Event ID 9.

To view event details, select System from the Log menu. Double-click the
adpu160m.sys driver event that has an Event ID of 11. (There may be none or
multiple driver events.)
The top portion of the Event Detail dialog box displays information such as
the time that the event was generated, the computer on which the event
occurred (in case of remote monitoring) and the description of the event.
The Data section of the Event Details dialog box displays the error messages
generated.

Click the Words radio button.
In the Data section of the dialog box, the entry in the second row and
second column (to the right of the 0010: entry) lists the error message
generated by the driver. The common error messages for the driver are
described below.

NOTE: The entry in the third row of the last column identifies the SCSI ID
of the device originating the error.

Hi

I am getting below error in event log and server is shutting down form
time to time. The server has two Adaptec scsi cards as per attached image.
How can I figure which card is at fault? Should I remove the card or try
to debug the problem? How can I proceed from here?

Thanks

Regards
