Platform Guide 1-1

This document provides information for installing and connecting peripheral hardware

components to your Dell™ PowerEdge™ Cluster SE400 solution. The configuration

information in this document is specific to Microsoft®Windows®2000 Advanced Server

and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating systems.

This document provides the following information:

• PowerVault™ and PowerEdge systems that support Cluster SE400 configurations

• PowerEdge systems that work together in a Windows 2000 Advanced Server or

Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition cluster configuration

• PCI slot information for installing Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant Card II

(DRAC II controllers), Dell Remote Access Card III (DRAC III controllers), NICs,

and RAID controllers in your cluster nodes

NOTE: Configurations not listed in this document are not certified or supported by

Dell or Microsoft.

NOTE: In this guide and in other cluster documentation, the Microsoft Cluster Service

(for Windows 2000 Advanced Server) is also referred to as MSCS.

Supported Cluster Configurations

Table 1-1 provides a list of supported cluster configurations for the Cluster SE400 running

Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.

Rules and Guidelines

When configuring your cluster, both cluster nodes must contain identical versions of the

following:

• Operating systems and service packs

• Hardware drivers for the NICs, RAID controllers, and any other peripheral hardware

components

• Management utilities, such as Dell OpenManage systems management software

Obtaining More Information

See the section related to your cluster product for more information on supported

configurations.

See the Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE400 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for a detailed

list of related documentation.

Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise

Edition Cluster Configurations

This section provides information about PowerEdge cluster configurations for your

Cluster SE400 running the Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003,

Enterprise Edition operating system.

Your Cluster SE400 supports PowerEdge systems as cluster nodes in identical systems

running Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.

Table 1-2 provides a list of PowerEdge systems that work together in cluster SE400

configurations.

Service Pack Support

Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later or Windows Server 2003,

Enterprise Edition are recommended for the Cluster SE400 solution.

You can download the latest service pack from the Microsoft website located at

www.microsoft.com.

See the Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE400 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for

instructions on installing the service pack.

Installing Peripheral Components in Your

PowerEdge Cluster Node PCI/PCI-X Slots

This section provides configuration information for adding NICs, a DRAC II or III, and

RAID controllers into your cluster node PCI/PCI-X slots.

Installing the PERC 3/DC Card

You must install the PERC 3/DC card in a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X slot up to 133 MHz or a 32-bit,

33-MHz PCI slot. See the PCI/PCI-X slot assignments in the following section for

information about your specific system.

If you are using multiple PERC 3/DC cards, Dell recommends that you install them on

separate PCI buses for load balancing.

Ensure that your system has the correct Windows driver. To verify your driver, perform the

following steps:

1Click the Start button, select Programs, select Administrative Tools, and click

Computer Management.

2Select System Tools, select Device Manager, and click the + sign to expand SCSI and

RAID controllers. One or more PERC 3/DC cards are listed.

3Right-click the PERC 3/DC card, select Properties, select the Driver tab, and verify

the driver version.

• For Windows 2000 Advanced Server, ensure that the driver version is 5.39 or later.

• For Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, ensure that the driver version is

6.32.2.32 or later.

Ensure that your PERC 3/DC firmware version is 1.80 or later. See your PERC 3/DC

documentation for information about downloading the latest firmware.

Adding Peripherals to Your PowerEdge Cluster Nodes

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your System

Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working

inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTE: To ensure that the SCSI or RAID controller attached to the boot drives

initializes first, you might have to change the device controller priority order using

the system BIOS utility or physically change the order of the RAID adapters. This

process ensures that the Windows operating system numbers the boot drives in the

proper sequence.

Table 1-3 provides PCI slot assignment information for installing RAID controllers and

NICs in your PowerEdge cluster nodes.

If you are not using a

DRAC II, Dell

recommends that you

install one RAID

controller in the 32-bit

slot, even if the RAID

controller is a 64-bit

controller.

NOTE: The Broadcom NIC drivers in

your cluster node must be

Windows 2000 Advanced Server,

version 2.43 or later.

NOTE: The Broadcom NIC firmware

version must be 1.12 or later. The

integrated Broadcom NIC firmware

revisions were created in ascending

order, starting with version 1.1 and

ending with 1.12 or later.

Consequently, version 1.2 is an earlier

version than version 1.12. To upgrade

the firmware, at the prompt, type

upgf x boot y where x is the

device number of the integrated

Broadcom NIC and y is the drive

letter of where the firmware file is

located. The utility upgrades the

integrated NIC firmware in your

system. The driver and utility to

upgrade the firmware are available on

the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com.
