The RAID controller monitors and manages the logical drives. When the RAID controller is replaced, all of your
logical drive data and configurations remain intact because logical drive information is stored on the physical
drives.
Caution
The RAID controller is NOT hot-swappable if your ASUS DS300f G2 has only one con-
troller. Power-down the ASUS DS300f G2 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 ASUS Storage Technical Support. See page 435.
Important
The firmware on the replacement RAID controller must be the same version as the
original RAID controller or a later version.
The amount of SDRAM in the replacement RAID controller must be the same as the
original RAID controller or greater.
To obtain firmware and SDRAM information for the currently installed RAID controller, click
the Administration button then click the Image Version icon.
