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.

The following list provides PCI slot assignment information for the system’s PCI
buses, RAID controllers, NICs, and DRAC 2.
PCI buses
— PCI bus 1: PCI slot 1 is 32-bit, 33-MHz
— PCI bus 2: PCI slots 2 through 5 are 64-bit, 33-MHz
— PCI bus 3: PCI slots 6 and 7 are 64-bit, 33/66-MHz
RAID controllers
— RAID controllers can be installed in any available 32-bit, 33-MHz or 64-bit,
33-MHz PCI slot.
— If you use multiple RAID controllers and there are available PCI slots, Dell
recommends installing the RAID controllers on separate PCI buses to bal-
ance the load on the system.
