Hi,
when you boot the server there is a menu that comes up before the bios screen, enter that menu there you can know which raid level is being used.

yes you can do that but you need the drivers for the scsi interface. when you install windows xp (for example) i think you may have to press the f6 key on the installation to add these drivers.

Otherwise, installation wont take place.

This particular device will require drivers for the Operating System to use. Also the hard disk drives will have to be installed an initialized outside the Operating System first before use. This is usually during startup after the system BIOS.

The exact steps can be found on the RAID card manufacturer's web site.

Valid operating systems fro Power Edge 1800

During the Windows XP setup you will need to provide the RAID driver using a pre-formated floppy disk.
Windows will ask you if you want to provide additional drivers and give you the key combination to use to do that.

Service Tag 277MW0j-DY

The best solution is to get another power supply and back the data up.

If you can't do that, and you have SCSI drives, then I would suggest marking the drives (0, 1, 2, 3, etc) and putting them in another Dell Power Edge server with the same RAID card and reading them that way. It can be dangerous to your data if you don't know what you are doing.

There are programs out there that can help you re-construct your RAID if needed. CaptainNemo and RAID Reconstructor have helped me in the past. If you have a Dell Perc 3/DI in your existing server, I may have the parameters for those programs.

Let me know.
