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.

AE6CAHI, AE6CFHI specifications

Addonics Technologies has consistently pushed the boundaries of data storage and connectivity solutions, and their AE6CFHI and AE6CAHI product lines illustrate this commitment. These advanced storage systems are designed to enhance the way users interact with data, catering to both personal and professional needs.

The AE6CFHI, also known as the Addonics 6-Bay FireWire/USB Storage Enclosure, offers remarkable flexibility when it comes to managing storage media. It supports up to six SATA drives, providing a total capacity that can reach several terabytes, depending on the chosen drives. This modular design allows users to customize their storage configuration based on specific requirements.

One of the standout features of the AE6CFHI is its dual interface capability, supporting both FireWire 800 and USB 3.0. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and operating systems, making it a versatile solution for various setups. Its Plug-and-Play functionality means that users can seamlessly connect and start using the system without the need for extensive software installation.

On the other side, the AE6CAHI showcases a slightly different focus with its design, aimed more at high-capacity storage solutions. Like its counterpart, the AE6CAHI can also accommodate six SATA drives, enabling significant data storage and backup options. However, it boasts a unique feature set tailored for network-attached storage (NAS) configurations. This allows multiple users to access the data simultaneously over a network, making it an ideal choice for small businesses or collaborative environments.

The technology behind both models emphasizes reliability and performance. Built with robust components, they feature cooling fans to prevent overheating during prolonged use. This durability is additional insurance for the investment in storage solutions, as it ensures data integrity and longevity.

Further, both units support RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, and 5, providing users with options for data redundancy and performance enhancement. This flexibility is crucial for users who prioritize data security while still requiring fast access to their digital assets.

In conclusion, Addonics Technologies AE6CFHI and AE6CAHI models demonstrate a perfect blend of flexibility, performance, and reliability. With their sleek designs, impressive storage capabilities, and versatile connectivity options, these products are designed to meet the evolving needs of today's digital landscape. Whether for personal use or business applications, these enclosures represent a significant step forward in storage technology.
