installing the operating system, make sure all PCI devices are
either enabled or installed.
4.7 Hot-adding Disk Drives
If you hot-add multiple disks simultaneously to a large
configuration (100 disk drives or more), it may take an extended
amount of time before those disk drives appear in Adaptec Storage
Manager.
With Intel Backplanes AXX4DRV3GEXP and AXX6DRV3GEXP, if a drive bay
is empty at enclosure power on and then a SATA disk drive is
hot-added into the empty bay, the controller does not detect
the new disk drive. To work around this issue, remove and reinsert
the SATA disk.
4.8 SuperMicro Disk Drive Enclosures
If the controller does not detect disk drives installed in a
SuperMicro M28E2 Mobile Rack, use backplane SAS connectors
marked with "SAS In" only.
4.9 Using the Controller with a SuperMicro X7DBE Motherboard
The ASR-2405 and ASR-2045 do not support the SuperMicro X7DBE
motherboard. Adaptec recommends using the SuperMicro X7DBE+.
4.10 Using the Controller with a Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA Drive
To ensure reliability when using the ASR-2405 or ASR-2045 with
a Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1TB SATA Drive (ST31000340NS), Adaptec
recommends using Seagate firmware version SN05 or higher.
4.11 Tape Drive Support (Non-DASD Devices)
o Tape drives are supported on the ASR-2405 and ASR-2045
controllers, except as noted below.
o The Sony SDX-570V tape drive is not supported under Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
