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. best regards Chad > > Chad > > >> >> Resetting the machine and going into the onboard ROM SMOR adaptec=20 >> manager on the card, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
