[AMBER] Run NPT in a small periodic box

I'm running NPT simulation on a sodium acetate water solution. My system is a 15Å * 15Å * 15Å periodic water box with a sodium acetate molecule in it. The box was built by tleap, and the minimization and NVT simulation went fine.

My NPT input file is as following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NPT 1ns
 &cntrl
  imin = 0,
  igb = 0, ntpr = 100, ntwx = 100,
  ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0,
  tempi = 300.0, temp0 = 300.0
  nstlim = 100000, dt = 0.001,
  ntp=1, pres0=1.0, taup=1.0
  cut = 8.0
 /
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and it gave me an error on the cutoff:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cutoff list exceeds largest sphere in unit cell!!
 Big problems with imaging!!
 a,b,c = 22.7405367945684 19.9996592897503
   20.4434567676675
 alpha,beta,gamma = 90.0000000000000 90.0000000000000
   90.0000000000000
 cutlist,sphere = 10.0000000000000 9.99982964487518
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked 25Å * 25Å * 25Å box, and it didn't show any error when running NPT.
Is there any method to run NPT for such a small box(15Å * 15Å * 15Å)?

Really appreciated,
Xiaoliu
