Cable Connections 1. Attach the SATA hard drives (up to 5) 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 5 successively. 2. To provide power to the HPM, connect a 4-pin floppy power cable from the system power supply to the floppy power connector on the HPM. 3. Optional: Connect LEDs to the Activity & Error LED jumper block Setting or Modifying the RAID Mode Using the JMicron HW RAID Manager Utility Program: 1.

RAID Setting Notes: RAID 1& RAID 10 Mode When 2 drives are SW1 1 2 3 4 5 BZS EZ M2 M1 M0 connected to the HPM-XA, and DIP switch is set to this setting, the 2 drives will be configured as a 2-drive 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 SW1 1 2 3 4 5 BZS EZ M2 M1 M0 Clone’s action is similar to RAID1. However, all of the hard drives will be mirrored.
Notes on Spare Drives using the Easy RAID Setting (EZ) When EZ function is ENABLED, the auto-rebuilding to spare drive is automatic. The degraded RAID group will start rebuilding automatically by using the existing spare drive. * Spare drive can be either plugged after RAID building or a new drive can be plug as the spare drive when RAID rebuild is required. When will rebuild action start? • When the raid fails and EZ is enabled, the HPM-XA will automatically rebuild the RAID group using the spare.
RAID Rack with Port Multiplier Compatibility Note: The Port Multiplier will only work with a Port Multiplier aware host. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are unsure. Addonics offers several Port Multiplier capable host adapters. When the port multiplier (PM) is connected to a host controller with SiI3124 or SiI3132 chip, in the RAID BIOS of the host controller you will only see one drive and that is the drive connected to SATA port 1 on the Port Multiplier.
