  • Unable to boot after replacing CPU in Ultra 5/10 (SRDB 21117).
Disk Drive (Primary)

  • After adding or replacing a disk drive, the following error occurs when attempting to use the format utility: "corrupt label - wrong magic number" (FIN I0385-1).
  • 18GB and 36GB IBM disk drives experiencing high failure rate in high humidity and high temperature environments (FCO A0182-1).
