Message

Description

Meaning and Recommended Action

1758

Slot x drive array – array accelerator
size mismatch between controllers.
64MB array accelerator should be
attached to both controllers.

The size of the array accelerators is
different between two controllers in a
redundant controller configuration. Use
array accelerators of the same size on both
controllers.

1759

Slot x drive array – redundant
controller error

Replace controller or server system board.

1762

Redundant controller operation is not
supported in this firmware version.
Please remove redundant controller or
upgrade controller firmware. (Controller
is disabled until this problem is
resolved.)

Remove the redundant controller or visit the
Compaq website and get the latest upgrade
for the controller firmware.

1763

Array accelerator daughtercard is
detached; please reattach. (Controller
is disabled until this problem is
resolved.)

This controller model cannot operate if the
array accelerator is detached. Reattach the
array accelerator.

1764

Slot x drive array – capacity expansion
process is temporarily disabled
(followed by a cause).

The capacity expansion process has been
temporarily disabled for the reason
indicated and will automatically resume. If
the array accelerator has been removed,
you must reinstall it for capacity expansion
to continue.

1765

Slot x drive array Option ROM appears
to conflict with an ISA card – ISA cards
with 16-bit memory cannot be
configured in memory range C0000 to
DFFFF along with SMART-2/E 8-bit
Option ROM due to EISA buffer
limitations. Please remove or
reconfigure your ISA card.

Remove or reconfigure the conflicting ISA
card, referring to the directions provided
with the ISA card. Alternatively, the Option
ROM can be disabled on the SMART-2/E
controller through the System Configuration
Utility if a SMART-2/E is not the primary
(boot) controller.

1766

Slot x drive array requires System
ROM upgrade.

Run System ROMPaq Utility.

Run the latest version of the System
ROMPaq utility.
