Larry,

Will either a 2726 or 2748 work in a 150 ?
The 2740 & 2741 require a "fast" PCI slot, but I saw no mention of this restriction for the 2726 or 2748.

Respectfully I've done a bunch of these and they are very straighforward. The top and front covers get replaced (OK the back too but who uses those?). You take off the right side cover and the new right side just slides together with the CEC side. Then a strap gets screwed down the back to hold them together and the new top pops on (a few more screws). There is one ribbon cable that connects the two sides together and a SCSI ribbon cable goes from the new 6 drive expansion to the disk controller in the CEC. Then the right side cover removed from the original system goes onto the new expansion unit. You *WILL want a 5.5mm socket to do this upgrade, but it's the only tool you'll need. This is a FC 7101 or 7102 expansion unit.

You MUST have a RAID controller to connect this expansion because the base controller will only control 4 drives. FC 2740, 2741, 2748 or 2726 will all work in there.
