CR ID Description
n/a Some PCIe cards do not have enough clearance
for external cables when installed in PCIe Slot 7.
The cable management arm (CMA) release
button may interfere with external cables and/or
connectors for the following PCIe cards when
installed in PCIe Slot 7:
• XVR-300 frame buffer card
• Any PCIe card with an external SCSI
connector
• Any PCIe card with an external fiber cable
connector
6706976 At write to CD/DVD media, there may be cases
where the writing speed may not reach the
maximum speed supported by the CD/DVD
drive.
Even if the maximum operation is not reached,
there are no problems in the processing for
writing to the CD/DVD media.
n/a XAUI card disables an On-board network port.

6679425 PCIe Slots 4 and 7 have tight clearances with the
chassis rear panel.
6726637 If three or four USB thumb drives are connected

Workaround
Do one of the following:
• Install the restricted cards in a slot other than
PCIe Slot 7
• Do not install the cable management arm
Use the media as is.
When installing a PCIe card in PCIe Slot 4 or 7,
angle the card to clear the tab on the PCIe latch
on the chassis rear panel, then insert the card
vertically into the PCIe slot on the motherboard.
Under heavy I/O load, do not connect more
than two USB thumb drives to the system.
