Hi Pastor,

There should not be any issues in swapping the controller.

Ensure that the Smart Array controller drivers are latest:

Turn off the server, swap the controller and restart the server. It should detect the Raid 5 and will give you a message to load the RIS from the Harddisk to controller, select the option and server should be up and running fine.

Regards,
Raj.
