Moving Units from an Earlier 9000 Series to a 9750 Controller
If you are moving units from a 9550SX or later 9000-series controller to a 9750 controller, the process is a little different from when you are moving units from one 9750 to another.. The steps you follow depend on whether you are booting from the drives attached to the older controller, or whether they are being used for secondary storage.
 
Note: Only SATA-2 drives are supported on the 9750. You cannot move SATA-1 drives.
