Centos 5 / linux on poweredge 2400

[Emanuel Salagean]

Hey, Thank you very much for this information.
I set the scsi adapter emulation mode to: Mass Storage, and now i have a 
functional CentOS 5 version, with raid 1 and raid 5 - hardware.
It will be a gateway, proxy and mail server. Not too much stressed, hope 
it will work oke.
Thanks!
