When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, the 4 drives will be

configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.

f.Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.

g.While pressing the RAID setting button turn on the system power where the HPM is connected. The buzzer will sound while holding the RAID setting button. Release it after at least 5 seconds for hardware initialization. A single beep will be heard to indicate initialization is completed.

h.Verify if the RAID array is detected by the system.

i.If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to the motherboard onboard SATA, on the CMOS setup utility, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W RAID5” if setup as a RAID5 array.

j.If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to an eSATA host controller card, on the RAID BIOS, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W RAID0” if setup as a RAID0 array.

k.If booted into Windows, in Disk Drives under Device Manager, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W LARGE” if setup as a LARGE array.

l.Once raid array is verified, you can set the buzzer either ON or OFF.
