Installing Additional hard drive.

I have ProLaint 3000 with 4 ultra-wide SCSI HDD of 18.2 GB each configured on RAID 5. I want to add 1or 2 new Compaq compatible HDD of 18.2 GB alongwith the existing HDDs. Please give me complete steps to go about, that and on Novell side, and it does not affect the current parity,array, RAID and the disk space is increased.

Thanx in advance.

We are using Compaq smart array 3200 controller. As far as the cage we are using the one that came with the 18.2 gig hard drive from compaq.
