I decided to put the Norco 4618 card into the first PCI slot of my DS20.
It and the PMP support seem to like that location much better - I'm
successfully creating an array at the moment (with not much apparent
slowdown to the system).
I was able to move the graphics card to another slot (which for a period
in the past was also limited to the first PCI slot).
Maybe this will make sense to some folks out there - thanks!
