Hello ATH235,   I'm sorry to see you had a motherboard failure. If your similar system has a similar PERC controller you should be ok.   You should be able to insert all drives of the RAID 10 and Import the Foreign configuration. The configuration is saved on the disk and the controller should import. No need to change anything on the controller. Just Import the array.   If a motherboard is changed the Service Tag of your system needs to be set. Replacement motherboards should come with no tag and should prompt you to input your tag when powered up for the first time.   Please let me know if this helps.
