12. SCSI errors and resets cause system failures.
SCSI errors and resets for any reason cause system failures. For example, if your disks
have a problem such as a parity or disk error that causes a SCSI reset, the system will
fail. Combining a Seagate drive with the ds2100 disk carrier causes electrical problems on
the SCSI bus and subsequent reset attempts that also result in system failure. Do not use
Seagate drives with this disk carrier.
