RAID controllers — RAID controllers can be installed in any available PCI slot. — If you use multiple RAID controllers and there are slots available, Dell recom- mends installing the RAID controllers on separate PCI buses to balance the load on the system. — If you are not currently using a DRAC 2 and do not plan to use one in the future, Dell recommends that you install one RAID controller in the 32-bit slot, even if it is a 64-bit RAID controller. NICs — You can install NICs in any avai

NICs — NICs can be installed in any available PCI slot. Dell recommends that Giganet cLAN adapters be installed in PCI slots 1 or 2. DRAC 2 — If you are currently using a DRAC 2 or plan to use one in the future, install it in PCI slot 2. NOTES: If you plan to use a DRAC 2, one PCI slot is available for a PERC 2/DC RAID controller for shared storage. 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 PC

DRAC 2 — If you are currently using a DRAC 2 or plan to use one in the future, install it in PCI slot 7. 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, NIC, and DRAC 2. Performing these tasks ensures that Windows numbers the boot drives in the proper sequence.
