| Fusion storage system activity lights are always on with Seagate ES.2 (Enterprise) drives installed in the drive bays. | Oct-22-10 |
| Sonnet engineering has fixed this issue with some Fusion storage systems. This issue was addressed and fixed as follows:
APRIL, 2008: in Fusion D400Q and Fusion D500P systems with serial numbers beginning with J.
MAY 20, 2008: In Fusion D800RAID with serial numbers beginning with G.
All versions of Fusion R400Q and R800RAID are compatible with Seagate ES.2 Drives.
Note: Seagate ES.2 drives have lower performance than Sonnet recommended drives. |

| Under Mac OS X 10.5.6, the PCI Express Expansion Slot Utility (early Mac Pro) always reports 8x, 1x, 1x, 16x no matter how its set. | May-06-09 |
| The bus lanes actually get set correctly under Mac OS X 10.5.6 but they are not reported correctly in the Expansion Slot Utility. The actual settings can be verified by booting under another version of Mac OS X. Sonnet has filed a bug report with Apple. |

| How do I replace a failed drive under warranty if I'm in a sensitive/classified environment and can't send the old one back? | Mar-23-10 |
| Seagate has a provisions in place to deal with replacing drives in sensitive / classified environments.
1. Start by going to the Seagate Warranty Validation page http://support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp
2. Input all the neccessary drive information and continue until you are issued an RMA or return#.
3. Contact Seagate at http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/about/contact_us to request a "Certificate Of Destruction". Seagate will send the COD via e-mail along with instructions on how to destroy the drive to their satisfaction. Certain parts of the drive will need to be shipped back to Seagate along with a filled out copy of the COD.
4. Once Seagate receives the COD and associated drive parts meeting their requirements, a replacement drive(s) will be shipped to the address set forth in the RMA. |

| What is the default drive timeout in Fusion RAID systems? Should I change it? | Mar-24-10 |
| The default drive timeout Fusion RAID systems is 30 seconds. The default is generally the best, but may be insufficient for some Seagate drives, which in rare instances may not respond within a 30 second timeout and consequently appear as degraded. If you are using Seagate drives, Sonnet recommends setting the timeout to 60 seconds, with the CLI command, "set raidcommandtimeout 60000". |
