| Hard drives are not recognized in a Fusion D400Q or Fusion R400Q when connected via FireWire or USB. | Sep-21-09 |
| When connected via FireWire, FireWire800, or USB, there must be a drive in the first bay (top bay of Fusion D400Q; left bay of Fusion R400Q); otherwise, the hard drives in the other drive bays will not be recognized. If hard drive is connected via SATA, there is no issue. |

| Unable to format hard drives after moving a Fusion storage system from a Mac to Windows computer. | Mar-23-10 |
| If you move your Fusion storage system from a Mac to a Windows computer system and try to format the disk using the Computer Management Console in Windows, the disk will show up as a GPT Protective Partition with no way to format it.
To properly format the disk, follow these steps:
1) Open a Command window (Start > Run > cmd), then start.
2) List your disks with list disk, then select the appropriate one with select disk X (with X the number of your disk as seen in the listing).
3) Issue a clean all command to erase all information on the disk. At this point you may be able to use the disk again from the management console;if not, continue with a create partition primary. |

| Only the first drive of my Fusion D400Q, D500P, R400P, or R400Q is recognized when I connect via SATA. Why? | Mar-24-10 |
| You are using a SATA port that is not port-multiplier aware. For example, the internal SATA ports in a Mac Pro that may be brought to the PCIe rear panel via an eSATA extender cable are not port-multiplier aware. All of Sonnet's Tempo SATA cards with external ports are port-multiplier aware. |
