Dell Poweredge 1650

[zylent]

Hey guys, me and 370forlife went to this surplus sale at wmu today, and I picked up a dell poweredge 1650 for 20 dollars. It has two 72 gig SCSI 10,000 rpm drives in RAID and two 1.13 tualatins with 2.5 gigs registered ECC ram. The problem is, it was wiped before I got it. So, I need to reinstall server 2003 on it. What drivers do i need to put on the floppy when I install server 2003 for the RAID and SCSI? Thanks for your help, as this is my first post.
Edit: Here's the drivers page:

The service tag is CY5JG11

You'll have to find out which version of the PERC (or other card) you have. All the drivers are on the web pages and you can put them on a floppy. It should say something about the PERC version when you boot up.

However, server 2003 does support some older PERC cards naively. Have you tried just installing it? If it works then you can update it after the install with the newer Dell drivers.

I haven't used a 1650, but on the 1850s we have you just use the Dell installer CD before the 2003 CD and it puts in all the drivers automatically. I don't think you can download it, but maybe Dell will send you one if you give them a call.

for s2k3, you shouldn't need anything, it should have embedded drivers for all mass storage devices in that.

Thanks, I'll try that as soon as 370 gets home. (It's at his house and he just went to a car show).
