RAID controllers

Install the RAID controller for the server’s internal drives in PCI slot 1.

Install additional RAID controllers in any available 64-bit, 33-MHz or 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI slot.

If you use multiple RAID controllers and there are available slots, Dell recom- mends installing the RAID controllers on separate 64-bit PCI buses to balance the load on the system.

NOTICE: The PERC 2/DC is keyed to prevent installation in a 64-bit 33/ 66 MHz PCI slot.

NOTE: The PERC 2/DC comes fitted with an ISA retainer (the extension bracket at the edge of the PCI card) to allow it to fit into a full-length ISA expansion slot. You may need to remove the ISA retainer from systems that use full-length PCI expansion slots. To remove the ISA retainer, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that fasten the retainer to the PERC 2/DC.

NICs

NICs can be installed in any available PCI slot.

DRAC 2

If you are currently using a DRAC 2 or plan to use one in the future, install it in PCI slot 2.

NOTE: To make sure that the SCSI or RAID controller attached to the boot drives ini- tializes first, you may have to change the scan order of the PCI bus, if the system BIOS supports this option, or change the order of the RAID, NIC, and DRAC 2. Per- forming these tasks ensures that Windows numbers the boot drives in the proper sequence.
