Dell PowerEdge 2600 Information Update - Page 5

This document provides updated information on the following topics for your system: • Power rating • NIC issues • SCSI issues and features • RAID controllers • Novell® NetWare® 6.0 • Red Hat® Linux • Compatibility considerations Power Rating 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 11.4 A 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 5.0 A NIC Issues Intel® PRO/100 and PRO/1000 NIC Identification The Intel PROSet utility includes a feature that causes Intel embedded NIC LEDs to blink for identification purposes. The identification feature works for any Intel add-in NICs installed in this system. However, because the system does not contain the hardware required to support the identification feature for embedded NICs, the feature is unavailable for the system's Intel PRO/100 and PRO/1000 embedded NICs. SCSI Issues and Features Mixed-Mode SCSI Configuration Limitation Mixed-mode configurations (channel A set to ROMB and channel B set to SCSI) use the RAID firmware rather than the SCSI firmware. In RAID mode, you cannot change the settings for SCSI tape drives; these settings are automatically negotiated with the SCSI devices. SCSI Setup Features The SCSI option ROM allows you to set up to four channels to be included in the boot order. Select the four channels from within the SCSI Configuration Utility, which you can enter by pressing when prompted during the POST of the LSI SCSI controllers. You can include channels from the embedded LSI Ultra 320 SCSI controller. Ensure that the hard drive containing the operating system is set as one of these first four channels in the boot sequence. The first device from each of the four channels is included as a boot option in the System Setup program. See your system's User's Guide for information about using the System Setup program.
