Hello,
I've a Dell PowerEdge 2600 (running Windows 2003), whom the RAID controller PERC 4/Di (integrated) appears to be faulty.
I continually get the message "Warning Embedded RAID firmware is not present", while I bought a new PERC 4/Di kit whose I've tried all components (battery, memory module and PERC connector)!
I've checked on the Web, and it sounds that this problem comes from motherboard.
I've a RAID Controller Card "Adaptec SCSI 39160" (PCI-to-SCSI adapter) that came with this server and I've never installed.
Is it possible to install this RAID Controller Card and use it with the original drive bays, included in this server?
If yes, does this RAID Controller Card can function as the integrated PERC (via the motherboard)?
Or, does this RAID Controller Card has to be connected to to SCSIA and SCSIB backplane board connectors?
Thank you for your help :)
Chris
