COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

To move an array, make sure all required conditions are satisfied, then:

1. Power-down the system.

2. Move array (including all drives in the array).

3. Power-up the system. A 1727 POST message should indicate that logical

drives were added to the configuration. If a 1785 (Not Configured)
POST message is displayed, turn the system off immediately to avoid
data loss and return the drives to their original locations.

NOTE: If you move arrays from a dual-channel controller to a single-channel
controller, you may get an error message indicating a configuration error. If you
get this error message:

Return to the previous dual-channel controller configuration.

Back up data on the array.

Move the drives to the single-channel controller.

Run the Array Configuration Utility on the single-channel controller to
configure the array.

Restore data to the array.

4. Run the Array Configuration Utility to view the new drive configuration

or to assign spare drives (optional).
