move RAID controller + HDDs + data (RAID5) to new motherboard

Question

I have a HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 RAID controller with 4 HDDs on my MSI P6N SLI mainboard and want to move the RAID controller with its HDDs and data to my new computer that has a Asrock H61M-ITX mainboard. I am using RAID5.

What is the recommended procedure after taking a backup of all my data?

I would simply insert the RAID controller with its HDDs, boot the OS and install the drivers. How likely is that going to work?

As long as you bring the same controller card with you, then as far as the RAID array goes there is no problem. (If you replace the controller card with an identical one, then you may have to go into the RAID BIOS and tell it to import the RAID array.)
