The RAID controller monitors and manages the logical drives. When the RAID controller is replaced, all of your
logical drive data and configurations remain intact because logical drive information is stored on the physical
drives.
Important
The firmware on the replacement RAID controller must be the same version as
the original RAID controller or a later version.
The amount of SDRAM in the replacement RAID controller must be the same
as the original RAID controller or greater.
To obtain firmware and SDRAM information for the currently installed RAID
controller, click the Administration button then click the Image Version icon.
Important
Do not replace the RAID controller based on LED colors alone. Only replace
the RAID controller when directed to do so by PROMISE Technical Support.
See page 435.
Cautions
The RAID controller is NOT hot-swappable if your Vess R2600 has only
one controller. Power-down the Vess R2600 before removing it.
