Jerry,
I had this problem on our old 620.  My expansion unit only showed up

if I printed the rack config 80 characters wide.

I have a small 9406-270 P05 with 18 35GB drives.  I go into SST,

start a 

  service tool, hardware service manager and press F6 to print a

rack 

config.

Lo and behold it does not report the 7104 expansion unit nor the

7143 

cage housing 12 drives.

I thought the rack config was next to god in accuracy.

What's up?
