www.dell.com | support.dell.com RAID Controllers Installing RAID Controllers Install Dell™ PowerEdge™ Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) 3/DC and PERC 3/QC controller cards in PCI-X expansion slots 2 through 5. Do not install PERC 3/DC and PERC 3/QC controller cards in slots 6 and 7. Expansion cards with older PCI technology might overload the newer 133-MHz PCI-X slots (slots 6 and 7), which have a lighter signal load due to a shorter bus and only one slot on the bus. NOTE: "Overload" in this context refers to the signal load, not the power load. All the PCI slots receive equal power from the same source. See your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for information about installing expansion cards. Configuring RAID Controllers NOTICE: Changing the configuration of the ROMB controller on the boot drive by mistake can result in clearing the operating system configuration. If ROMB is enabled and one or more PERC 3/DC or PERC 3/QC RAID controllers are installed in the system, do not change the configuration of the ROMB controller on the boot drive by mistake. When you access the RAID controller setup functions by pressing during startup, the ROMB boot drive is listed as the default controller. Be careful to select the correct RAID controller before making any logical drive configuration changes. Novell NetWare 6.0 USB Driver Issue Systems running NetWare 6.0 with Support Pack 1 that have an attached USB keyboard can lock up when the reset server command is run. Use the updated UHC1DRV.NLM file (version 1.01, dated December 12, 2001, or a later version) on the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD to resolve this issue. 1-4 Information Update
