*IMPORTANT NOTE DO NOT HIBERNATED!* 
---------------------------------
Hibernation attempt on PE2600 running W2K with PERC 4/Di will result in a system hang when PERC 4/Di is running firmware version 2.01 and this PERC 4/Di driver v5.35.2 is used. A power cycle is required which will caused the data in memory to be lost.

This problem does not occur when using older W2K driver version 5.32. The problem is due to an error in driver-firmware communication during hibernation process with these versions of driver and firmware. The workaround is to not hibernate the system when using driver 5.35.2 or keep on using 5.32 driver. The fix is incorporated in PERC 4/Di firmware version 2.05 or higher.
