Have a look at arcconf (sysutils/arcconf) -- it's Adaptec's newer tool
and should support both older and newer firmware; aaccli stopped working
as of a certain version and I think Adaptec has no plans to work on it
any longer.  If you really want to use aaccli, you can downgrade the
firmware on the new card -- of course, you'll have to use arcconf to do
that step.

The firmware version should be printed on a verbose boot.
