It happened once more with 0x3 .  Though the codes don't seem to be in=20=

the code lists that adaptec tech support has, it appears that when a=20
fault happens, the internal LEDs will blink, making a specific HEX code=20=

to help figure out what the problem is.  This messages seems to be a=20
report on what the LEDs are doing when there is a fault.

I replaced the cache memory module and the system has not had a problem=20=

since, after 3 or more problems in one day on Monday.
