Back up all data on the drives controlled by the adapter that will be removed.
Load the Appropriate HP NetRAID Driver
To load the required HP NetRAID drivers, you will follow these steps as
described in Chapter 6, "HP NetRAID Software," of this guide:
1. Decide which HP NetRAID drivers you need as described in Step I of this
guide.
2. Use the HP Netserver Navigator CD-ROM to prepare the diskettes you
need to install the drivers and the HP NetRAID configuration utility
specific to your NOS. See Step I for complete instructions.
3. Uninstall the old HP NetRAID drivers and install the new HP NetRAID
drivers as described in Step J.
4. Install the NOS-specific configuration utility as described in Step L.
Insert the New Adapter and Restore the RAID
Settings
CAUTION
All HP NetRAID-1M and 2M adapters are sensitive to static
electricity and can easily be damaged by improper handling.
Using a grounding strap is recommended. Read the following
information carefully before you handle the accessory:
•
Leave the new adapter in the antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.
•
If possible, use an antistatic wrist strap and antistatic
grounding mat.
•
Before you touch the existing adapter, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface on the system to discharge static
electricity.
•
When removing or installing an HP NetRAID-2M
adapter, do not allow the adapter or the Battery Backup
Unit to touch any part of the HP Netserver, or any other
conductive surface (except an antistatic mat), because that
could cause a short in the Battery Backup Unit.
