I am upgrading from an EX 485 to an EX 490 HP mediasmart server. I need a secure way to transfer all of my photos and documents from the old to new server that does not include exchanging the system drives. I do have a secondary hard drive in the EX485 which I can move as well as an external drive. My primary concern is to assure my data's integrity.

My technique of moving data was to log onto the old server (in my case an EX475) and map network drives to the new server. For instance, I mapped M: to \\NEW_SERVER\Music, V: to \\NEW_SERVER\Videos, P: to \\NEW_SERVER\Photos, etc... Then I transferred the data manually via simple copy/paste commands. You can log on via RDP or better yet using one of the custom video cables made by cakalapati. I have a managed switch with two 1GB ports. Each MSS was plugged into one of these so the files transferred very fast.
