I am ready to replace motherboard but what happens to my RAID 5? I cannot lose this data. Is there a way to retrieve my data? Please help!!!

Hi, it does sound like your motherboard is dead.
No beeps, no fans spinning, no lights etc?

When or if you buy a new motherboard, install your OS on a new clean drive. Your data will still be on the other drives.
