Performing these tasks ensures that Windows numbers the boot drives in the proper sequence. support.dell.com Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE100, SE200, and SL200 Platform Guide Adding Peripherals Required for PowerEdge 6300 or 6350 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 PCI slot assignment information for buses, RAID controllers, NICs, and a DRAC 2. • PCI buses — PCI bus 1: PCI slots 1 through 3 are 32-bit, 33-megahertz (MHz) — PCI bus 2: PCI slots 4 through 7 are 64-bit, 33-MHz • RAID controllers — RAID controllers can be installed in any available PCI slot — If you use multiple RAID controllers and there are slots available, Dell recommends installing the RAID controllers on separate PCI buses to balance the load on the system • 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 3 NOTE: To make sure that the SCSI or RAID controller 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 controllers, NIC(s), and DRAC 2. Performing these tasks ensures that Windows numbers the boot drives in the proper sequence. PowerEdge Cluster SE200 and SL200 PowerEdge Clusters SE200 and SL200 support clustering with Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server. See the following sections for information on supported configurations and SPs for your Windows operating system. Windows 2000 Advanced Server Installation instructions for hardware configurations using Windows 2000 Advanced Server can be found in the Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE100, SE200, and SL200 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE100, SE200, and SL200 Platform Guide Your PowerEdge Cluster SE200 and SL200 system supports the following PowerEdge servers as cluster nodes in homogeneous pairs (same server) with Windows 2000 Advanced Server: • PowerEdge 2400 • PowerEdge 2450 • PowerEdge 4400 • PowerEdge 6400 • PowerEdge 6450 • PowerEdge 8450 NOTE: Heterogeneous server clusters (mixed server models) are not supported with PowerEdge Cluster SE200 and SL200 configurations running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition Your PowerEdge Clusters SE200 and SL200 support the following PowerEdge servers as cluster nodes in homogeneous pairs (same server) with Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition: • PowerEdge 2400 • PowerEdge 2450 • PowerEdge 4400 • PowerEdge 6400 • PowerEdge 6450 • PowerEdge 8450 The following combinations of PowerEdge server cluster nodes are supported in heterogeneous pairs (mixed server nodes) with Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition: • PowerEdge 2400 - 2300 • PowerEdge 2400 - 4300 • PowerEdge 2400 - 4400 • PowerEdge 2450 - 4350 • PowerEdge 4400 - 4300 • PowerEdge 6400 - 6300 • PowerEdge 6400 - 4400 • PowerEdge 6450 - 6350 • PowerEdge 8450 - 6350 • PowerEdge 8450 - 6450 support.dell.com Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE100, SE200, and SL200 Platform Guide Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack Support Windows NT SP 6.0a or later is recommended for PowerEdge Cluster SE200 and SL200 systems. NOTE: Both nodes must be configured with similar drivers (NIC, RAID controller, and so on), utilities (Dell OpenManage suite, PowerConsole, and so on), firmware (PERC 2/DC), and the latest BIOS for each system. When planning for and testing your heterogeneous configurations, ensure that adequate resources are available on the server node to run all of the application programs on the cluster with fewer computing resources. PERC 2/DC Installation You must install the PERC 2/DC in a 64-bit, 33-MHz or 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI slot. For your specific server system, see the PCI slot assignments in the following subsections. Adding Peripherals Required for PowerEdge 2400 Cluster Nodes 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 PCI slot assignment information for buses, RAID controllers, NICs, and a DRAC 2. 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 must remove the ISA retainer to install the PERC 2/DC in PCI slots 1 or 2 of the PowerEdge 2400. To remove the ISA retainer, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that fasten the retainer to the PERC 2/DC. • PCI buses — PCI bus 1: PCI slots 1 through 5 are 64-bit, 33-MHz — PCI bus 2: PCI slot 6 is 32-bit, 33-MHz • RAID controll...
