Issue Description |
Solution |
Affected Platform |
| APC* PowerChute* Business Edition |
If you have the RAID 5 write-back cache enabled, and are using the PowerChute software to manage your UPS device, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager will not be notified if a transition to battery power occurs. This means that the cache will not be flushed and disabled and data integrity cannot be maintained if a loss of power occurs. |
If you have the RAID 5 write-back cache enabled and wish to ensure data integrity in the case of a transition to DC power, we recommend that you uninstall the PowerChute software and allow the Microsoft* battery driver to manage the UPS device. |

| Hitachi* Serial ATA Hard Drives with 3.0Gb/s transfer speeds |
If you receive an error code (STOP: 0x0000007a) during Microsoft Windows XP* installation with Hitachi hard drives, the transfer speeds of the hard drive(s) may be set to 1.5Gb/s instead of 3.0Gb/s. |
Use the Hitachi Feature Tool* utility to set the transfer speeds of the hard drive(s) to 3.0Gb/s and enable Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC).
Note: This issue should no longer occur beginning with version 5.1 of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, even if the transfer speeds are set to 1.5Gb/s. |

| TrippLite* PowerAlert* |
If you have the RAID 5 write-back cache enabled, and are using the PowerAlert software to manage your UPS device, the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager will not be notified if a transition to battery power occurs. This means that the cache will not be flushed and disabled and data integrity cannot be maintained if a loss of power occurs. |
If you have the RAID 5 write-back cache enabled and wish to ensure data integrity in the case of a transition to DC power, we recommend that you uninstall the PowerAlert software and allow the Microsoft battery driver to manage the UPS device. |
