This is all brand new hardware isn't it? I've been working under that
assumption. If it is used, or refurb stuff, scratch my previous
statement about the drives, as they could very well have problems, or
anything else in the chassis for that matter.
New/used/refurb, the first thing I would do, given those errors, is
check/replace the 8087 cable connecting the 9240 to the drive cage
backplane.
