Any day is fine to raise issues...!

Okay.

Included in next version.

"blinking" on an E450???  I have never seen this before. 
You are showing that the Activitiy light actually changes?  Very odd.
But, you do have one E450 with that LED on...

I suspect a hardware issue with your blinking 450.

Has anyone else seen this?

Somewhere with a Sun Engineer?  Are these "production" 250's?  i.e. not an alpha or beta hardware release from Sun?  One site I was at had beta Netra servers, their hardware was very different to the production version.

Glad I include examples so you can confirm what I expect to see! ;)
