Hardware Installation
Warning: Before proceeding with hardware installa-
tion, read the Before You Begin section that completely
describes personal and system precautions. Failing to do
so may result in personal injury or damage to your com-
puter or the Escalade ATA RAID Controller.
To remove an existing Escalade ATA RAID
Controller
1 If the computer is running, shut it down. Turn off power to the
computer and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
2 Open the computer case according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
3 Disconnect the disks from the existing Escalade ATA RAID
Controller installed in your system. If your boot disk is con-
nected to the ATA RAID Controller and you intend to retain it as
your boot device, note or mark which physical disk is connected
to slot 0 on the controller. This disk should be reconnected to
slot 0 on the new ATA RAID Controller. Preserving the slot
order of how the other drives are connected is unimportant, even
if the disks are part of a disk array. However, it is recommended
that a plug-to-plug replacement is followed.
4 Remove the screw in the metal bracket at the end of the old ATA
RAID Controller. Save the screw for installing the new control-
ler.
5 Gently remove the ATA RAID Controller from the PCI slot.
6 Remove the cables from the ATA RAID Controller and discard.
Reusing interface cables is not recommended.
