Advisories
This section contains advisories on the disk drive carrier, RAID configuration drivers, and on-board
Adaptec controllers.
Disk Drive Carrier
■
When installing or removing a hard disk drive it is recommended that its carrier handle be left in a straight outward position, until either the carrier is fully seated in its connector or removed from the drive bay. To move a hard disk drive in or out of a bay the outside edges of the carrier's front panel should be used.

RAID
The following advisory applies to MC2200 systems that include the NEC SecuRAID 210 (Mylex® AcceleRAID™
250) RAID Controller:
■
If your system includes the NEC SecuRAID 210
(Mylex AcceleRAID 250) RAID controller, the OS/2
RAID driver is located on the E
XPR E S S
B
UILD ER
CD-ROM in "DAC960 Software Kit V1.07 for OS/2."
■
The GAM client and server version for OS/2 is
V2.11.
If your EXPRESSBUILDER is Version 2.4, you can get a later version of the OS/2 software from your vendor.
On-Board Adaptec Controllers
■ If you are running OS/2 and disable the onboard
Adaptec 7880 controller, the OS/2 Adaptec driver will display the following message when started:
"Error: Adapter not support by this version of the driver (C0103083h)". This message can be ignored.
It is caused by the driver not being able to initialize the 7880 controller because it is disabled, but not because the driver doesn't support it. It doesn't effect the initialization of the onboard Adaptec 7860 controller.
