You'll most likely need a diskimage with a patched kernel for this.  You
may find such for the 2450 at e.g.
	http://www.merilus.com/~kevin/aacraid.html

The same but for the newer PowerEdge 25xx (and 44xx I believe) can be
found on
	http://emil.its.uu.se:8080/DELL/

(The later is built on the former, just an other kernelpatch)

You may also find lost of usefull info at
