72-inch StorEdge Cabinet
(Delorean) |
Delorean 72-inch StorEdge Cabinets shipped
before July 12, 1999 may have unusable Anti-Tilt stabilizer rails. During
installation of a 72-inch StorEdge Cabinet it may become apparent that it
is not possible to fit the Anti-Tilt stabilizer rails to the cabinet screw
studs. Some rails may fit initially, but subsequently they may bind in use
or become completely jammed. This may make the rails unusable. In some cases
rails may even fall off, as persistent binding can loosen the screw-in studs.
This problem may become apparent some time after installation, following
a number of rail extension and retraction operations. |

Battery Canister (370-2434-01) |
Any Battery Backup Unit over two years
old may not have enough energy to hold data in the RSM2000 or A3000 controller's
Write-Back Cache for 72 hours in the event of a power outage

FC-AL PCI Card FC100/P (375-0040-02 or
below) |
Systems with FC100/P cards (QL2100 PCI
FC-AL HBA) having Molex optical transceivers, may cause increasing numbers
of loop errors, excessive LIPs, and SCSI parity errors as they age. |

Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI UDWIS/S (370-2443-01) |
Systems with large quantities of UDWIS/SBus
Host Adapters installed may not come up after reboot due to miscommunication
between the SCSI host and the target. Large configurations with many UDWIS/SBus
Host Adapter cards are more vulnerable due to higher probability of encountering
the reboot problem. If a system can be rebooted it may fail to communicate
correctly with a storage device connected via a UDWIS/SBus Host Adapter.
This would have different results depending on the system configuration. |

360 watt power supply FDK
PEX737-30 (300-1340-03) |
Storage A1000 or D1000 (Dilbert)
Power supplies fail with amber LED. Since the Storage A1000 or D1000 has
two power supplies and are redundant, the system will continue to run with
one failed power supply. A total of 7217 affected Dilberts shipped with
14,434 affected power supplies between June 1998 and October 1999. It is
estimated that 66% of these 7217 Dilberts will experience a power supply
failure due to this issue within three years from the time they are put
into service. |

4.2GB 7200 RPM Disk Drive (540-2937-01)
4.2GB 7200 RPM Disk Drive (540-2938-02)
4.2GB 7200 RPM Quantum Disk Drive VK4550J (370-2809-XX ) |
After extended run time in heavy disk
access applications AND extended power down times Quantum (model# VK4550J
or VK45J05) 4.2GB, 3 1/2-inch, 7200 RPM Single-Ended, Ultra/Wide SCSI disk
drives may fail to spin up. These drives are at risk of premature failure
due to oil contamination which causes a stiction failure in the HDA. Only
disk drives in the following FRU serial number range are affected:
0005181-97041Dxxxx to 0005181-97440Dxxxx |
