When connecting the cables, you must connect the same channel connectors on both
ServeRAID controllers to the enclosure. For example, if you connect the cable from
Channel 1 on the first ServeRAID controller to the enclosure, you must connect the cable
from Channel 1 on the second ServeRAID controller to the enclosure.
10. Connect the enclosure to the new ServeRAID controller.
11. Remove the IBM ServeRAID Support CD from the CD-ROM drive; then, turn

Figure 30 on page 63).
Replacing a controller of a failover pair in a hot-plug PCI slot
If the failed controller is in a hot-plug slot, see the documentation that comes with
the server for instructions for replacing the controller.
Note: Windows 2000 does not support the hot-replace feature. For more
information, see “Replacing a controller of a failover pair in a non-hot-plug
PCI slot” on page 164.
