PE2400 bios/firmware updates for win 2003 server

I am doing a clean install of Win 2003 Server on a PE2400.  The following are my current drivers/firmware/bios versions:

     BIOS A08

     Embedded Server Mgmt firmware v 5.39

     System Backplane firmware v 5.47

     PERC 2/SI BIOS v 2.7-0 build 3552

     Adaptec AIC-7880 SCSI BIOS v 25701

     Archive Python 04106-xxx firmware 7350

     Maxtor Ultra ATA 100 Controller BIOS v 2.01 build 27

     Intel 8255x based PCI Ethernet (10/100)

Please advise as to what updates are necessary prior to and after the installation of Win2003 Server.

TIA,

Randy Daddis

I had to flash the BIOS to a09 before I could get Server 2003 to install successfully.

bigbad29b...do you get AFAMGT errors in the Event Log regarding SCSI timeouts?

My install was a clean format and install.  Before I flashed the BIOS the installation would blue screen at different spots.  I flashed it then retried the install and it worked like a champ.  I don't have any errors logged in the event log that you asked about.
