Replacing an existing ATA RAID controller
with a new version of the controller
Caution:
Install the correct driver (Escalade 7000/8000 ATA RAID
Controller) for the new version Escalade ATA RAID Controller
before installing the controller. Your system may not boot with the
new version of the ATA RAID controller unless the new version of
the driver has been installed first.
Note:
Upgrading to a new version of the Escalade ATA RAID
Controller does not require reconfiguring the drives connected to
your controller and will not affect data stored in your disk arrays
for this and previous versions.
