Instruction for Special RAID Modes:

BIG 2 - 2 Drives Spanned

oNote: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the HPM. Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid.

oFor SATA drives with different capacities, the HPM will use the smallest drive capacity of the 2 drives connected to create the total partition size.

FAST 2 - 2 Drives Striped

oNote: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the HPM. Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid.

Verify RAID Setting on the HPM
