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 ade- quate resources are available on the server node to run all of the application

• 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 6. 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 sup- ports 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. Ad
