1-6 Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE100, SE200, and SL200 Platform Guide
PowerEdge 6450 - 6350
PowerEdge 8450 - 6350
PowerEdge 8450 - 6450
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 ade-
quate resources are available on the server node to run all of the application programs
on the cluster with fewer computing resources.

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.

The following list provides PCI slot assignment information for buses, RAID control-
lers, 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
