Instruction for Special RAID Modes
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.

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 i\
s 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 b allpoi nt  pen

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
