RAID Setting Notes:

 

RAID 1& RAID 10 Mode

When 2 drives are

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connected to the HPM-XA,

SW1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and DIP switch is set to this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting, the 2 drives will be

RAID1 array.

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

configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.

 

 

 

 

 

Clone Mode

 

 

 

Clone’s action is similar to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAID1. However, all of the

SW1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hard drives will be mirrored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clone mode is useful

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.
