Problem PCI-X slots 1 and 2 were placed physically on the board 0.25 mm away from
the specified dimension called out in the SSI EEB Specification revision 3.61
due to trace routing considerations.
Implication The SSI EEB Specification revision 3.61, Figure 2 denotes the reference pin 1
location at 31.12 mm aft of the reference datum. Current location of the PCI-X
slots 1 and 2 are 31.37 mm aft of the reference datum. Due to the many
variables in board and chassis design, this small deviation is expected to have
little or no customer impact.
Status This erratum will not be fixed.
Workaround None.

a second Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) expander based drive enclosure

failures during operation.
Status This issue was fixed in HSC firmware revision 2.02.
Workaround None.

mode issue.
