Hi There,

I'm pretty new to UNIX/FreeBSD and I'm going to install and administrate
FreeBSD on a DELL PowerEdge 2900.

Does anybody have experience with that machine, or are there any known
problems, for example:

- Perc RAID Controller
- attaching an APC to the machine and configuring the corresponding software

I don't use a Dell but I use an APC smartUPS 750 which works fine. It's
monitored over usb and it uses sysutils/apcupsd installed from ports.

I'm sure your Dell will work fine with any smart APC and apcupsd.

- ACPI

Thanks alot!
Tobias
