did someone already had this problem?
One thing worth checking with Dell PowerEdge equipment is that the SCSI
controllers firmware is up to date. I had this exact same issue with a
PE2300 recently. Upgrading the firmware, as well as manually loading
the required megaraid driver worked for that machine.
I don't remember off hand what controller card the 1650 has in it, but
if it is an older PERC card then you have to coax it a bit. I made some
posts over the last two weeks about PERC cards and Dell hardware, so
have a look at them if you still have a problem.
