dell poweredge 2300

[John Seth]

I have Dell Poweredge servers which I ended up replacing all the perc/2 
cards to perc/4 since they updated the firmware and some sligh I/O 
issues with the onboard drives and external drive arrays I have.  You 
may want to check and see if your poweredge system has updated perc 
cards to replace the existing ones.
