Swapping out Failed Motherboard on Dell 1600SC w/4 Drive RAID 5 Array

The motherboard on my Dell 1600SC failed and I purchased the exact same board (both part # and rev level) from a dealer for replacement.  The reason I went to all the trouble of getting the exact same board was so the data and applications wouldn't have to be re-loaded.  I installed the board and now when the system is powered on I get the message "no boot devise available - strike F1  to retry boot, F2 for set up utility". 

Can someone provide some direction as to what steps need to be taken to get the new board to see the RAID array with the OS (Windows Server 2003), apps and data? 

Thanks in advance.

    Veltech,

    I found the cause of the issue.  The SCSI cable was not terminated. 

    Thanks for the reply.
