Integrated SCSI Controller

The vendor of the integrated SCSI controller device on the I/O board is identified as
Symbios or LSI. Because LSI purchased Symbios, both vendor names are correct and
synonymous.
Multiple PERC2 Cards and Dell Diagnostics
When two or more PERC2 cards are installed in the PowerEdge 8450 system, only up
to two may be viewed or tested at any given time. The following steps are required to
view and test the selected PERC2 cards with the Dell Diagnostics:
1.
During the boot process, press <F2> to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
2.
Select Advanced.
3.
Select PCI Configuration.
A list of PCI slots is displayed, starting with PCI Embedded SCSI, PCI Slot 1,
PCI Slot 2, and so on.
4.
Select the PCI slots (maximum of two) containing the PERC2 cards that are to be
viewed.
Ensure that the Option ROM Scan selection for these cards is set to Enabled
(the default).
Make a note of the two PCI slot numbers that the PERC2 cards occupy. Later,
Dell Diagnostics will refer to the controllers as card 0 and card 1, with card 0
assigned the lowest-numbered PCI slot.
For example, if the PERC2 cards being viewed are installed in PCI slots 2 and 4,
Dell Diagnostics displays information for card 0 (the PERC2 card in PCI slot 2)
and for card 1 (the PERC2 card in PCI slot 4).
5.
Set the Option ROM Scan for all other PCI slots to Disabled. Also, from the list,
disable the PCI Embedded SCSI controller.
