PERC 4e/DC in 2850 - lost 1 disk, RAID5 array failed

[Patrick_Boyd at Dell.com]

You can find the driver/firmware for your RAID card here.

emID=PWE_PNT_P3C_2850&os=LE30&osl=en&deviceid=6395&libid=35

But to save you the trip 521X is the latest firmware.

Finally got a chance to poke a little deeper into the issue I was
having.

My PERC 4e/DC is running firmware 521x, BIOS H430.  The Seagate
ST3300007LC drives have revision D703.

No errors reported for the battery backup.

I'm actually having a bit of trouble locating the right pages on Dell's
site to know whether or not the PERC fw/bios are the latest versions -
is there a trick for this other than searching support.dell.com and
wading through the results?  My service tag produces a "there are no
updates for this system".

> I had to upgrade to 351X (from the top of my head) to get this fixed.
> Are you on the latest firmware? It could be an explanation.
