Thank you for purchasing the MANHATTAN® SATA 3 Gb/s RAID PCI Express Card, Model 150965 (2 external ports) or 160377 (2 internal ports). This card lets you upgrade a desktop computer with two SATA 3 Gb/s channels to access external eSATA storage devices, helping you to fully utilize the speed and versatility of eSATA to directly connect eSATA storage devices, a port multiplier or eSATA enclosure..
Introduction Before you install this card, it’s recommended that you become familiar with the contents of the SATA RAID 5 manual on the enclosed driver CD, in the folder: \SATA PCIe_Raid5_2Port\SiI3132\Windows\Gui (or \Raid5 SATA2_4Port\SiI3124\ Windows\Gui). This RAID manual has more information about RAID architecture, features, installation and settings, plus management software for RAID 5 GUI (graphical user interface). After driver installation, if desired, install SATA RAID 5 GUI for RAID management.
