Module
The controller module monitors and manages the logical drives. When the controller is replaced, all of your
logical drive data and configurations remain intact because this logical drive information is stored on the disk
drives.
The procedure is the same for all VTrak J5000 models since they all use the same controller module.
Caution
Do not replace the controller module based on LED colors alone. Only
replace the controller module when directed to do so by Promise Tech-
nical Support.
Only a qualified technician should perform this procedure.
You must shut down the VTrak J5000 enclosure before you can perform
this procedure.
