Replace RAID Controller – All Models

The RAID Controller monitors and manages the logical drives. When this
controller is replaced, all of your logical drive data and configurations remain
intact because this logical drive information is stored on the disk drives.

To remove and replace the RAID Controller, do the following:

1.

Power down the VTrak.

2.

Remove the network, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SCSI and null modem
cables.

3.

Grasp the handle and pull it toward you.

4.

Grasp the Controller and pull it out of the enclosure.

5.

Gently slide the new Controller into the enclosure.

6.

Press on the front to seat the Controller. The handle will swing in as the
Controller is properly seated.

7.

Attach the network, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SCSI and null modem cables.

8.

Power up the VTrak.

This completes the RAID Controller replacement procedure.

Caution

The RAID Controller is NOT a hot-swappable device. Power-down
the VTrak before removing it.

Important

Do not replace the RAID Controller based on LED colors alone.
Only replace the RAID Controller when directed to do so by
Promise Technical Support. See page 299.
