I.e. the available disk space on an initialized disk will be lower than on the same disk type initialized with firmware v7372 or v7377! If a disk initalized with firmware v7372 or v7377 has to be replaced after the controller's firmware has been updated to v8832, v9117 or newer, either a disk with higher capacity (at least +100MB) is required or the new disk must be initialized first on a controller which has firmware v7372 or v7377 installed. Also, after an array has been deleted and the disks have been reinitialized, it is strongly recommended to reboot a system prior to create a new array on these disks. 30 Aug 2005, v7377 Solves configuration issues on mainboards with Intel 7520 chipset, e.g. controller not being recognized at system startup. Web page now provides firmware revision 7377, which replaces inital firmware revision 7372 from ICP CD 3.0.
