Changing a raid card

I have a Dell powered 6300. I've had an original PERC raid card running for years. It is faulty now and will only boot every once in a while. I've aquired a newer (although still old) PERC2/DC controller now. My question is, with the old card installed so I can see windows 2003 server. How do I install the drivers for the new PERC2 card? All drives are on the raid 5.

That's what I was thinking of doing. But I was thinking after doing the above. Will windows know while booting, that the old raid card isn't in the system and boot from the new card. A couple other places I'm looking are pointing me on the path of making a bootable floppy and messing around with the boot.ini file.
If you have Dell Support then you can check with them once.
