Any corresponding Text file (e.g. uwflash.txt) is viewable on-line and may be printed.
DETAILS:
Excessive rewrites, SCSI bus timeouts, and high soft error rates during backup operations have been associated with the
Adaptec PCI UW SCSI adapter at firmware level 1.32, the ship level of the adapter.
Updating to the 1.34 level of SCSI BIOS will resolve this issue.
Note: This adapter was bundled as part of the Netfinity 3000 server.
