If I recall correctly, the Dell Poweredge series (especially the lower end) 
uses a proprietary SCSI adapter - built for them specially by Adaptec.  You 
will need the Dell specific drivers.

I inherited a bunch of low-end Dell Poweredge servers, and have found the 
whole lot to be proprietary pieces of crap.  Yes, they run marvelously 
after you spend 12 hours installing them, but the high maintenance - caused 
by proprietary crap hardware that functionally add zero value to the unit - 
has tainted my view of them.

Best of luck - Jon Carnes
