    <Display lang="en"><![CDATA[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
