1708 - Slot X Drive Array Controller - Bootstrap NVRAM restored from backup. 
System restart required 

Audible Beeps

: None 

Possible Cause

:  The specified Smart Array controller Bootstrap NVRAM was restored in one of the following 

ways: 

•

 

It was detected as corrupt, and the backup copy was restored. 

•

 

It was automatically updated because a newer version was available. 

Action

:    

1.

 

Reboot the server. 

2.

 

If the problem still exists, update the controller to the latest firmware version. 

 

1711-Slot X Drive Array - RAID ADG logical drive(s) configured but Array 
Accelerator size <= 32 MB 

...This configuration is not recommended. Consider migrating logical drive(s) to RAID 5 or upgrading the Array 
Accelerator module. 

Audible Beeps

: None 

Possible Cause

: This configuration is not recommended. 

Action

: Migrate logical drives to RAID 5 or upgrade to a larger array accelerator module. 

 

1711-Slot X Drive Array - Stripe size too large for RAID 5/6 logical drive(s) 

...This configuration is not recommended due to transfer buffer usage. Consider migrating to lower stripe size via Array 

Configuration Utility. 

Audible Beeps

: None 

Possible Cause

: This configuration is not recommended because of controller memory requirements. 

Action

: Perform RAID migration to lower stripe size using the Array Configuration Utility (on page 

71

). 

 

1712-Slot X Drive Array - RAID 5 logical drive(s) configured with 56 Drives, but Array 

Accelerator size <= 32 MB... 

...This configuration is not recommended. Consider migrating logical drive(s) to RAID 0 or 1, reducing the number of 

drives in the array, or upgrading the Array Accelerator module. 

Audible Beeps

: None 

Possible Cause

: Upgrade the Array Accelerator module to a larger size. 

Action

: Migrate logical drives to RAID 0 or 1, reduce the number of drives in the array, or upgrade to a 

larger-size array accelerator module. 

 

1713-Slot X Drive Array Controller - Redundant ROM Reprogramming Failure 

...Replace the controller if this error persists after restarting system.
