Replacing an existing ATA RAID controller
with a new version of the controller
Caution:
Install the correct driver (Escalade 7000 ATA
RAID Controller) for the new version ATA RAID con-
troller
before installing the controller. Your computer

RAID controller unless the new version of the driver has
been installed first.

drives connected to your controller and will not affect
data stored in your disk arrays for this and previous ver-
sions.
