Swapping hardware in a Linux system such as Amahi/Fedora is very forgiving and simple for the most part. Amahi does depend, however, on having the eth0 network interface and your shares depend on having the right drives and SATA ports identified between hardware changes to avoid lengthly repair processes.
If swapping:<br />>> Motherboard/ SATA-controller/ RAID-building card <<<br />- you have no changes to make when booting back into Fedora, which will just re-fit drivers to the new part. <br />- It is advisable though, to reconnect your drives in the same sequence they were before the swap of the motherboard/ sata-controller/ RAID-card..<br />eg:<br />before the part-swap<br />sata port 01 = sata drive sda<br />after the processpart-swap<br />sata port 01 = sata drive sda<br />..and so on.<br />-In the BIOS/ UEFI, ensure that the boot sequence is also the same. <br />
If swapping:<br />
>> network card << <br />
- you must ensure that the same ethernet device assignment stands as before the part swap. <br />
- If anything eth0 may become eth1 afterwards, so you will need to rename it to eth0 via the Network Manager in the Fedora desktop. You'll want to reboot to finalize changes. (((command-line process coming soon)))<br />
If swapping:<br />
>> CPU / RAM / video card << <br />
- no changes need to be done after boot. These drivers should automatically load on a reboot of Fedora.<br />
