Warning message about Fiber Gigabit Ethernet disconnect at system power-up

(Event ID 4 or Event ID 27)

Issue At system power-up, you may see a Warning message (with a source of b57nd or

e1000) indicating a disconnect. With the A7073A card, Event ID 4 is specified,

and with the A9899A card, Event ID 27.

Workaround This is not an error, but rather a side-effect of the auto-negotiation process used by

the A7073A and A9899A cards. The cards do connect at the end of that process.

You can verify this by going into the Event Viewer, locating the Warning

message, and seeing the Informational message that follows it, indicating a

successful connection (Information Event ID 11 for the A7073A card;

Information Event ID 32 for the A9899A card).

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error message dialog during system shutdown

Issue During shutdown, systems running Partition Manager may display a dialog on the

Workaround This is a program error in the System Management Homepage that has no

operational impact. No user action is needed.
