It should be the same as with other PowerEdge servers in that the only 
issue will be getting the kernel to support the Perc RAID controller. 
You'll need to use the supplemental driver floppy in order to get the 
installer to recognise the RAID and then once the first stage installer is 
done (and before the system reboots!) you need to put a kernel in place 
that does support the RAID.

Thereafter there should be no difference to any other install.
