Greetings,

I have a PowerEdge 2400 with a PERC2/Si in it.  I do not know how close
that is to the SC, however mine is running FreeBSD 6.1 and recognises
the card thus:

Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem 
0xf4000000-0xf43fffff irq 24 at device 10.1 on pci2
Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amr0: <Series 466> Firmware 3.01, BIOS 
1.36, 16MB RAM

And then quite happily detects the RAIDs:

Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amrd0: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> 
on amr0
Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amrd0: 8568MB (17547264 sectors) RAID 1 
(optimal)
Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amrd1: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> 
on amr0
Oct 14 18:04:23 khaki kernel: amrd1: 104034MB (213061632 sectors) RAID 5 
(optimal)
