BIG 2 - 2 Drives Spanned
o Note: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the hardware port
multiplier. Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid.
o For SATA drives with different capacities, the hardware port multiplier will
use the smallest drive capacity of the 2 drives connected to create the total
partition size.
FAST 2 - 2 Drives Striped
Note: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the hardware port multiplier.
Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid.

Setting RAID on the HPM
1. Attach the SATA hard drives (up to 4) to the SATA ports on the Hardware
Port Multiplier (HPM) using SATA cables. It is recommended to connect
drives to the SATA ports 1 to 4 successively.
2. Set the Rotary switch to the RAID mode required.
3. Push the RAID setting button with a ballpoint pen tip while the HPM is turned
off.
4. While holding the RAID setting button, turn on the HPM and SATA hard drives
and continue to hold button for at least 5 seconds.
Note: The onboard LEDs for the eSATA and USB will start blinking while
holding down the raid setting button. Once the raid setting button is
released, the PM Health LED will blink 4-6 times. If the PM Health LED
stops blinking, the raid set is set correctly. If the PM Health LED lights
up as solid green, it is a bad setup. You need to repeat setting up the
raid again.
Use a ballpoint pen
tip to press the
RAID Setting Button
Verify RAID Setting on the HPM
It is assumed that you have already connected the SATA drives and set up the
raid mode when verifying the raid setting.
1. Disconnect the HPM from host.
2. Turn on the Storage Rack.
3. Hold down the RAID setting button with the tip of a ball point pen.
Using the table below, verify if the LEDs are lighting up. The selected
LEDs will light up.
Note: Use the embedded LED’s located on the HPM board as reference

Storage Rack DA with Port Multiplier Using Multilane
Connection
Note: The Port Multiplier will only work with Port Multiplier aware multilane host
controllers. It is compatible with multilane host controllers using the Silicon Image
Chip SiI3124 & SiI3132.
When the port multiplier (PM) is connected tothe multilane host controller with
SiI3124 or SiI3132 chip, in the RAIDBIOS of the host controller, you will only see
one drive and that is the drive connected toSATA port 1 on the Port Multiplier.
All SATA drives connected tothe PM will show in the SATARAID5 Array Manager.
Refer tothe SATARAID5 Management Utility User Guide V1.6 for RAID
implementation
