Does anyone know what might be causing this error ?. The server is setup with an PERC3/Di integrated raidcontroller.

Do you have any external SCSI equipment hooked up, like a tape deck? If so, replace the terminator and/or cable.

[jakob314]

very relvant question, but no I haven´t got any external SCSI-units connected, the server is aa 2003 DC

Then I would replace all the scsi cables and terminators that are inside the box. I don't have a 2550, so I can't say for sure what that would involve. Are you out of warranty?

Ok, very good idea (why didn´t I think of that myself??)
I´ll have a go at the cables etc.
The warranty is out since many years.

I would say CPU VRM.

If your firmware levels are up to date then the problem is the SCSI BP. Seen this several times before.
