RE: What position for a RAID controller in a model 620

Carl,

I'm referencing information from the V4R3 System Manual (GA19-5486-17).
I'm looking at a hard copy but it may be online also.

I'm hoping that you meant to type "2726" instead of "2627".  The #2726 is
a RAID controller and would be placed in slot E16 of the PCI expansion
unit.  The diagram is on page 121 of the manual.

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
