PERC5/i Manual

Does anyone know where I can get user manual for PERC5/i controller? I'd like to break and rebuild the array, change it from RAID5 to RAID10 (I have 4 SAS HDs). Will I be able to have RAID10 with PERC5/i? How hard/easy is it to rebuild the array? Thanks.

Support.dell.com select manuals, select storage, select RAID controllers, select PERC 5/i, 5/E, or just ckick here. 
 
Umm, if you have Data filling that RAID 5, it will not fit in the RAID 10, unless you're also adding a drive to get to 4 drives.

Awesome. Thanks Gary. The current config is 4 SAS drives configured as a single RAID5. I'd like to break that config and rebuild as RAID10. The SAS HD is about 130GB each. I suppose with RAID10, I will end up with (approximately) a single 260GB virtual volume? And I will lose data in RAID5 but that's ok. I have nothing configured yet. I'll just reinstall the OS.

I'll read the manual and be back with questions, if I have any. Thanks again.
