Important Information
Do not place a 39160 in slot 1 of a PowerEdge 6400 or 6450. The GUI will not be able to load properly while using Channel A of a 39160 in slot 1 of a PowerEdge 6400 or 6450. This prevents the installation of NetWare 5.x. To remedy this, place the 39160 in one of the other slots.
