No.
The PERC, PERC 2/SC, PERC 2/DC and PERC 3/D* are AMI designs.
The PERC 2/Si, PERC 2/Di, PERC 3/Si and PERC 2/QC are Adaptec designs.
"PERC" means "this is a Dell-branded RAID controller".
"2" and "3" refer to 40MHz vs 80MHz SCSI support.
"S" "D" and "Q" are single, dual and quad channel designations.
"i" means it's integrated onto the server motherboard.
"C" means it's an addin card.
"L" means it's the low-cost version.
Got that?
