Yes, but it specifically addresses issue with resets:


019:
  SCR FIRM03219 Pchip reset interrupt not handled
  SCR FIRM03220 Put parity segment to free state completely when deallocate unused parity segment

016:
SCR 2196:  Unexpected controller soft resets
Fixed an issue with regards to  deferral of write and read commands to help eliminate unexpected soft resets.

SCR 2217: Incomplete unit after multiple power failures when a RAID 1 unit is initializing after a rebuild.
This issue is fixed in this firmware version.

SCR 819: Controller may assert when cache is disabled in a RAID5/RAID6 configuration under heavy I/O load.
This issue is fixed in this firmware version.

SCR 2214: Performance drops during SES polling.
Fixed the issue where performance drops when a Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) takes up to 700-800 msec to respond to SES polling.
