    							Overview
    LED Connector: Glows to indicate power, blinks to indicate I/O with the host.
    SET Enable Jumper: Place shunt  on SET and GND  to  enable RAID  Setting jumpers.  Place shunt  on  SET
    and NC to disable RAID Setting Jumpers.
    RAID Setting Jumpers: Refer to RAID Setting section.
    Installation
    1.  If  desired,  set  the  Jumpers  as  discussed  below  for  a  RAID  Mode.  The  HPM  is  set  to  JBOD  Mode  by
    default.
    2. Connect the HPM Directly onto the back of a standard 2.5” or 3.5” SATA device.
    3.  Connect  power  from  floppy  power  cable,  or  from  eSATA through  the  eSATA to  Floppy  Power  Adapter
    Cable if needed.
    4. Connect the HOST Connector to a SATA controller.
    5. Connect the Second SATA Target Connector to another SATA device.

    							Port Multiplier Compatibility
    When  set  for  individual  drives,  the  Port  Multiplier  built  into  this  device  will  only  work  with  a  Port  Multiplier
    aware SATA host adapter. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are
    unsure. Addonics offers several Port Multiplier aware host adapters.
    RAID Setting
    To  enable  RAID  Setting  Jumpers,  be  sure  the  SET Enable  Jumper  is  on  SET  and  GND.  After  setting  the
    Individual Drives
    Connect pins 2 and 3, 5 and 6.
    With  a Port  Multiplier  compatible  controller,  each  mSATA device  will  appear  as  an  individual  drive.  One  or
    both media may be used. All other modes require both media.
    RAID 0
    Connect pins 1 and 2, 4 and 5.
    RAID  0  involves  “striping,”  where  the  drives  carry  alternating  sections  of  the  overall  space.  RAID  0  is
    designed for high performance but is not
    fault tolerant. Failure of either device will result in loss of all data.
    RAID 0 requires identical capacity on both drives. If the two media are different capacities, the lower capacity
    drive determines “membership size.” The extra space on the other drive is unused.
    RAID 1
    Connect pins 2 and 3, 4 and 5.
    RAID 1 “mirrors” the drives. Each drive carries a complete copy of the entire set of data. If either drive fails,
    the entire set of data is preserved on the other.
    RAID  1  also  requires  identical  capacity  on  both  drives.  If  the  two  media  are  different  capacities,  the  lower
    capacity drive determines “membership size.” The extra space on the other drive is unused.
    A RAID 1 with a failed member may be “rebuilt” by replacing the failed media with one having capacity equal
    to or greater than the membership size.
    LARGE
    Connect pins 1 and 2, 5 and 6.
    LARGE Mode “spans” the drives – the lowest portion of the overall capacity is contained on the First Target
    (the drive the HPM is attached to), the higher portion contained on the Second Target. All available space on
    both  media  is  used,  even  if  the  drives  are  not  the  same  size.  This  set  is  not  fault  tolerant.  If  one  of  the
    devices fails, some of the data may or may not be recoverable from the other.
