Figure 3-1 shows an example of a Windows NT or Windows 2000 SAN configuration

To install and configure the 650F or 651F in a Windows SAN, you should use the
following management software:

To install and configure the 660F in a SAN, you need to use the following software:

You do not need Dell OpenManage Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) if
Array Manager is used to manage only servers with Fibre Channel HBAs. However, if Array Manager is used to manage servers with PERC RAID controllers,
you must install HIP on the management station before installing Array Manager.
