v The optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in PCI-X slot 1. v You can install an optional RAID controller to enable you to configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays. See your RAID controller option documentation for complete instructions for installing a RAID controller and for additional information about RAID controllers. Note: Some operating systems, such as SCO 6.0 and UnixWare 7.14, do not support RAID. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ to determine whether a supported operating system supports RAID. v The optional ServeRAID -7t SATA controller can be installed only in PCI-X slot 2. The low-profile bracket that comes with the controller is required for you to install the controller. v The optional ServeRAID 8i controller can be installed only in PCI-X slot 2. The low-profile bracket that comes with the controller is required for you to install the controller. Remove the large expansion-slot bracket that comes preinstalled on the controller, and install the low-profile bracket. v The server scans the PCI-X slots to assign system resources. If you have not changed the default startup sequence, the server starts the devices in the following order: the CD drive first; then, depending on the model, the PCI-X slots 1 and 2, or the PCI-X slot and the PCI Express slot, and then the integrated Ethernet controllers.
