| Installation of the Sonnet (ATTO OEM) RAID card in an 8-core Mac Pro with a Fusion D800RAID, R800RAID, or D400RAID storage system. | May-12-09 |
| Originally, the Sonnet (ATTO OEM) RAID card in an 8-core Mac Pro should be installed in the PCIe compatibility slot, not a PCIe 2.0 slot. If the RAID card must be inserted in a PCIe 2.0 slot, please do the following:
1) Upon rebooting your machine, launch the ATTO Configuration Utility.
2) Select the CLI tab and type "automap" to mount the drive array.
Note: A recent firmware was posted to the Sonnet website to address this issue. |

| ATTO R380 RAID Software (Feb. 2008) | Aug-05-09 |
| The February 2008 release of the ATTO software broke the "automaponboot" feature, in which an array that is moved to another machine will be automatically recognized. Sonnet will not be posting this update. For customers who may have upgraded directly from ATTO, we recommend they change the automaponboot setting to 'disabled.' This way on each reboot the mappings will persist.
The new ATTO software release included these enhancements:
* Staggered startup.
* Autorebuild - RAID will automatically start rebuilding if it finds a damaged disk replaced by a clean one.
* Adaptive read-ahead policy - will read ahead for long data streams, not for short ones. |

| 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. |

| 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". |
