| 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. |

| 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. |

| Can I use an ATTO R680 with the R800RAID or D800RAID? | Jun-24-14 |
| Can I use an ATTO R680 with the R800RAID or D800RAID? The ATTO R380 that come with these storage units does not have full OS X 10.9 support and I want to migrate to Mavericks.
Background:
The D800RAID and R800RAID were qualified with the ATTO R380 RAID controller card. The R380 is a 3Gb SAS card will link to modern 6Gb hard drives at 3Gb. The R680 would link at 6Gb, however, these chassis were never qualified at 6Gb, and migrating to an R680 means one must force the R680-to-hard drive link to 3Gb for reliable operation. Because SATA hard drives are not capable of saturating a 3Gb link, the performance impact is minimal.
After installing the R680, and before formatting the RAID array, force the link to 3Gb...
Run Terminal, and type: sudo ./atsasnvr -k 3
A reboot is necessary for the change to take effect.
You can now use the R680 with the D800RAID or R800RAID. |

| Can I use Seagate Iron Wolf drives; or Hitchai and WD drives 8TB and larger? | May-31-18 |
| Some newer drives use a hole pattern different from the traditional drive hole pattern for the bottom mounting points. The location of the bottom holes close to the connector did not change; however, the bottom holes near the middle have been removed and replaced with bottom holes close to the front of the drive.
The drives with the new bottom hole pattern include:
Seagate Iron Wolf drives (also missing the middle hole from the side mount hole troika)
Hitachi drives 8TB and larger
WD drives 8TB and larger
Incompatible mount holes
Echo 15+ Dock (side mount, but needs middle hole, so incompatible with only Seagate Iron Wolf)
Fusion F3 (bottom mount)
Fusion D400Q/R400P/D500P (bottom mount)
Fusion D800/R800 (bottom mount)
Compatible mount holes
Fusion R400S RAID (side mount)
Fusion R400 RAID USB 3 (side mount)
Fusion DX800/RX1600 (side mount) If using Iron Wolf line, must use Iron Wolf Pro with rotational vibration sensors
