Some SAF-TE controller cards, PBA A42862-110, were manufactured with a crystal that may produce an incorrect frequency of 13.3 MHz. This incorrect frequency will result in loss of hot plug feature and will require a system reset when hard drives are swapped in RAID configurations. Systems using RAID controllers of any type may fail to build RAID arrays. This incorrect frequency may result in RAID failures when systems configured with any type of RAID controller access the SCSI backplane SAF-TE controller via the SCSI bus using standard SAF-TE SCSI protocol commands. All identified failures to date have been in systems with RAID controllers that were unable to initialize the RAID array.
