Swapping Out / Replacing Compatible Intel RAID Controller SRCMR in Windows 2000:
While running Windows 2000, swapping or replacing a SCSI host adapter with another compatible
but different model SCSI host adapter is similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The
important distinction is that you
add the new SCSI adapter into the system first , before removing
the old adapter.
✏
NOTE
If you do not install the new host adapter first, it may result in a Windows 2000 boot failure.
To swap compatible Intel RAID Controller SRCMR, follow these steps:
1. Power down your computer.
2. Insert the new (compatible) Intel RAID Controller SRCMR into an available PCI slot, leaving
the existing Intel RAID Controller SRCMR intact.
3. Power up your computer. Windows 2000 should load up as normal and detect the new Intel
RAID Controller SRCMR. Install the Windows 2000 driver if prompted to. If a driver install
Wizard starts, follow the driver installation procedures.
4. Reboot if prompted.
5. Once the new Intel RAID Controller SRCMR is functioning properly, power down your
computer.
6. Remove the old Intel RAID Controller SRCMR (leave the new Intel RAID Controller SRCMR
in the slot that it was initially installed in and detected by Windows 2000) and move all desired
devices to the new adapter.
