When installing a Smart Array 221 Controller in a system with an existing
array controller, you can either place the new controller at the end of the
controller order or reorder the controllers. Reordering changes the current
drive letter assignments for all drives on the system. To avoid changing
the drive letter assignments, place the new controller at the end of the
controller order and do not create a primary partition on any of the
added disks.
