  Error: Backup Battery Unit (BBU) bad or missing

    This is a standard warning on older firmware versions, to indicate that the battery may be charging or defective. It is most likely to occur when the battery has either been newly installed or was depleted by loss of mains power and is recharging.

  Error: Cannot Load MAPILogon() from MAPI32.DLL

    Use the Email Notification option in the RAID Configuration Service. This uses SMTP instead of MAPI to send the email notification.

  Error: Detected damaged primary configuration data on [channel ID LUN] Using secondary configuration data.
