Level of Importance: Optional
Dell recommends the customer review specifics about the update to determine if it applies to your system. The update contains changes that impact only certain configurations, or provides new features that may/may not apply to your environment.

Important Information
Flashing the controller back to 00.06.50.00 FW will render the controller inoperable.

Mixing SAS and SATA drives on the same volume is not supported.

Fixes and Enhancements
BIOS Fixes/Enhancements

1. Fixed issue where spontanious reboot may happen when attempting to enter the SAS5 BIOS using CTRL-C
2. With a failed drive, the BIOS would timeout port enable before the firmware was done with it.
3. Disabled verify support for SATA drives since bad block remapping is not supported on SATA
4. Corrected issue where a drive failing during a verify operation in BIOS configuration utility
would hang the utility.

Firmware Fixes/Enhancements

1. Fixed issue where I/O timeouts can occur during a period of very high I/O activity when one
of the targets of this activity goes missing and the Device Missing Delay feature is enabled.
2. Fixed issue where Task Management was incorrectly removing devices when any target reset was performed.
3. Fixed issue where pulling and inserting drives may cause Fault 7202 in Windows Event log
when a Direct Attach SEP device is attached to the controller.
4. Fixed issue where W2k3 enumerates the devices, after sending an Inquiry command, it then erroneously
sends an Inquiry command with the EVPD bit set to the SEP device. However, the SATA-II SEP devices do not
support the EVPD option. The Inquriy with EVPD bit results in a Check-Condition and the Windows driver
would notice the LogInfo and then create an entry in the Windows Event Log. This event log message has been supressed
5. Added support for > 2TB volumes.
6. Fixed Issue where resync periodically runs slowly after reboot in Windows
7. Corrected issue where a degraded volume with a failed drive comes back optimal on next reboot
