• A PERC 3/SC controller
• A host computer with an available 5 V, 32- or 64-bit PCI expansion slot
• The PERC 3 installation diskettes
• The necessary SCSI cables (This depends on the number and type of
SCSI devices to be attached.)

Dell™ strongly recommends that you have an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) for the entire system.
