8 Upgrading to an HP NetRAID-1M or

HP NetRAID-2M Adapter

This chapter explains how to replace an existing HP NetRAID adapter with an

HP NetRAID-1M or HP NetRAID-2M adapter. When you replace one adapter

with another, you must consider data compatibility. Data created using one

HP NetRAID adapter is not necessarily compatible with any other HP NetRAID

adapter.

NOTE A new adapter must have channels that are equal in number or

greater than the adapter it is replacing. Do not replace an

HP NetRAID-3si adapter (using three channels) with a

NetRAID-1M or NetRAID-2M adapter (which can control

only one or two channels).

To replace an HP NetRAID-1M or NetRAID-2M adapter, you need to:

1. Back up your data.

2. Load the appropriate driver.

3. Insert the HP NetRAID-1M or HP NetRAID-2M adapter and restore your

RAID settings.

CAUTION Do not insert an HP NetRAID-1M or 2M adapter with the

Netserver powered on. Unplug the HP Netserver power

cord(s) before installing a HP NetRAID-1M or 2M board.

4. Restore your data from backup.
