It happened once more with 0x3 . Though the codes don't seem to be in the code lists that adaptec tech support has, it appears that when a fault happens, the internal LEDs will blink, making a specific HEX code to help figure out what the problem is. This messages seems to be a 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 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 >> manager on the card, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
