Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack Support

Windows NT SP 6.0a or later is recommended for PowerEdge Cluster SE100 systems.

NOTE: Both nodes must be configured with similar drivers (network interface control- lers [NIC], redundant array of independent disks [RAID] controller, and so on), utilities (Dell OpenManage™ suite, PowerConsole, and so on), firmware (PowerEdge Expand- able RAID Controller 2/SC [PERC 2/SC]), and the latest basic input/output system [BIOS] for each system.

When planning for and testing your heterogeneous configurations, ensure that ade- quate resources are available on the server node to run all of the application programs on the cluster with fewer computing resources.

Adding Peripherals Required for PowerEdge 2300, 4300, or 4350

WARNING: Hardware installation should be performed only by trained service technicians. Before working inside the computer system, see the safety instructions in your PowerEdge system documentation to avoid a situation that could cause serious injury or death.

The following list provides Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot assignment information for buses, RAID controllers, NICs, and the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card 2 (DRAC 2).

PCI buses

PCI bus 1: PCI slots 1 through 4 are in front of the PCI bridge

PCI bus 2: PCI slots 5 and 6 are behind the PCI bridge

RAID controllers

RAID controllers can be installed in any available PCI slot

NICs

You can install NICs 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 4

NOTE: To make sure that the small computer system interface (SCSI) or RAID control- ler attached to the boot drives initializes first, you may have to change the scan order of the PCI bus, if the BIOS supports this option, or change the order of the RAID con- trollers, NIC(s), and DRAC 2. Performing these tasks ensures that Windows numbers the boot drives in the proper sequence.
