MG,  don't know.  All five disks are installed in the internal cage
and they're all SAS disks.  I think that's just something the firmware
banners out, maybe the SCSI command protocol version it supports (as
opposed to the interconnect).

The cache battery indicator came up again last night so it looks like
service call as soon as we/they can arrange it.
