    ADDONICS TECHNOLOGIES 
    Model: MMTPRO 
     
    The MultiMedia Tower Pro comes with a port multiplier installed. For your 
    system to see multiple individual drives, confirm with your system 
    manufacturer that the eSATA port that came built-in with your system is 
    Port Multiplier (PM) compatible. You may add a PM compatible eSATA 
    port to your system with an add-on controller via PCI or PCI-Express slot 
    on a Desktop or an ExpressCard slot on your Notebook. Controllers that 
    use the Silicon Image 3132 or 3124 chipset are PM compatible and 
    Addonics offer a family of these controllers. 
     
     
    I.  Installing drives into the MultiMedia Tower Pro 
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Step 1 
    Using 3.5” SATA hard disk drive, slide the drive into the drive bay.  
     
    For bay 1, close the front panel and using the key provided, turn the key 
    lock to the Lock position. This will secure the drive and turn on the power 
    to the hard drive. 
     
    For bay 2, slide any micro SATA hard drive/SSD or CFast card installed 
    in CFast-mSATA adapter. 
     
    For bay 3, insert any Flash media:  
    Compact Flash Type I and II, MicroDrive, Secure Digital (SD), SDHC (SD 
    2.0), SDXC, Micro SD*, mini SD*, Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Pro 
    (MS Pro 4bit)*, Memory Stick Duo (MS Duo)*, Memory Stick Pro Duo (MS 
    Pro Duo)*, Sony M2*, Multi Media Card (MMC & MMC Plus 4.2), Smart 
    Media, xD, Reduced Size MMC (RS-MMC)*, CFast card (require 
    Addonics CFast - mSATA adapter) into the correct slot on the reader 
     
    Media priority for flash reader 
     
    When more than one media is inside the internal SATA / USB DigiDrive 
    during bootup, the media that gets detected first is according to the 
    priority shown below 
    1. Compact Flash 
    2.  Smart Media / xD Picture card 
    3.  MMC / SD 
    4. Memory Stick 
     
    The flash media will show up as a removable drive in Explorer. 
     
    For bay 4, just push back the front panel to secure drive. There is no key 
    lock for this bay. 
     
     
    Note: It is recommended to fill up the MultiMedia Tower Pro with SATA 
    drives from top to bottom. This is to help in identifying which drives 
    connect to which ports for easier troubleshooting. 
     
     
     
     
     
     II.  Connecting the power cable and MultiMedia Tower Pro  
         to the computer 
    a.  Connect the power cord provided from the wall outlet to the 
    back of the MultiMedia Tower Pro. 
    b.  Make sure the power is off (power LED light should be off). 
     
      
    III. Power on/off control 
     
    Turn on the power to the MultiMedia Tower Pro by pressing the power 
    button on the front. The power green LED light should lit indicating the 
    power is on. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Using the Port Multiplier mounted on the MultiMedia Tower Pro 
     
    Note: The Port Multiplier will only work with Port Multiplier aware eSATA 
    host controllers. It is compatible with eSATA host controllers using the 
    Silicon Image Chip SiI3124 & SiI3132. 
     
    When the port multiplier (PM) is connected to an eSATA 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 mounted in bay 1 of the 
    MultiMedia Tower Pro. 
     
    All the SATA drives mounted on the MultiMedia Tower Pro will show in 
    the SATARAID5 Array Manager. 
     
    For non-raid Silicon Image controller or using USB converters, the drives 
    will be detected on the disk utility of the operating system. 
     
    Step 1:  
    Connect the eSATA cable that is connected to a PM-aware eSATA host 
    controller to the eSATA port located at the back of the MultiMedia Tower 
    Pro. 
     
    Step 2:  
    Turn ON the MultiMedia Tower Pro 
     
    Step 3:  
    For eSATA raid controllers using Silicon Image chips, use the 
    SATARAID5 array manager to configure the external drives. 
    For non-raid Silicon Image controller or using USB converters, the drives 
    will be detected on the operating system.
