Release Notes

Limitations
The following limitations apply to the Express5800/320Lb FT Linux. Please read the
limitations below carefully to ensure that they are followed.
System Hardware
320Lb systems purchased with or previously running the Windows Operating
System cannot be loaded with the FT Linux Operating System. The following
conditions may occur:
 The system may hang after a PCI Module breaks and is restoring to service.
The root cause is due to insufficient decay of 3.3V during a 1 second power-off
cycle during the PCI module bring-up after a failure. This condition has been
corrected for new 320Lb systems purchased with the Windows Operating
System after mid-November 2004.
Note: This limitation does not apply on any
systems ordered and preloaded with FT Linux at the
factory.
Memory Limit
The FT Linux version 2.2.0.0 or later supports a 6GB (6x1GB) memory upper
limit.
Restrictions
The following limitations apply to the Express5800/320Lb FT Linux. Please read the
restrictions below carefully to ensure that they are followed.
List of Restrictions
Restrictions
1
LAN card that is not connected to the network
If LAN cards connected to the device are not used (i.e. cables are not connected),
the ports on those cards are recognized as BROKEN state, turning the status color
of data viewer ([FtServer]-[PCIModule]-[Ethernet board]) as well as Operation
Window to red (abnormal). Connect those LAN cards together using the LAN
cables (cross cable) to avoid this status.
2
X window
X window server cannot be operated. Use X terminal to operate X window client.
3
General information of the SCSI enclosure
NEC ESMPRO server and /proc/scsi/scsi may not report the ‘revision’ and ‘model’
information of the SCSI enclosure correctly. This does not indicate any problems
on the system. The correct information can be obtained from the syslog file.
