Removing Cover ofStorage

Tower V

Loosen the 3 screws at the back of the

tower using a Philips screwdriver by

turning counter-clockwise. Separate the

metal casing of the tower from the housing

by lifting up the casing.

Installing drives into the

Storage Tower

Step 1

Screw the hard drives into the optional

mounting brackets or slide in 5.25” devices

into the tower. Other types of enclosures

like the 5SA disk array can also be

mounted. Mounting one 5SA disk array

and another one 3SA disk array allows you

to mount a maximum of 8SATA drives.

Step 2

Using 3.5” SATA Hard Disk Drives

Connect the internal SATA data cable to

the data port of the hard drive then connect

the 15-pin SATA power connector to the

power port on the hard drive.

Step 3

Secure the hard disk by using screws

provided. Repeat the above procedure for

additional hard drives.

Default factory DIP Switch setting:

SW1 – RAID Setting DIP Switch

BZS – Error buzzer function

EZ – Automatic rebuilding to spare drive (one of the drives on the raid is set as a

spare). If EZ is ENABLED anda drive failure occurs, the spare will

automatically act as a drive replacement and rebuilding will automatically

start.

M2 – RAID mode 2

M1 – RAID mode 1

M0 – RAID mode 0

1. Error buzzer function is ENABLED (BZS) when dip switch is in OFF position

2. Auto-rebuilding to spare drive is DISABLED (EZ)

3. Individual drive mode is ENABLED (M0~M2)

Note: When the default factory RAID setting is used, independent drive configuration

and optical drive are supported only when connecting to controllers with Silicon

Image Sil3124, Sil3132 chip set or controllers that are Port Multiplier (PM)

compatible. Simultaneous DVD writing was tested using the Nero Burning Rom.

Setting or Modifying the RAID Mode Using the JMicron

HW RAID Manager Utility Program:

1. For Windows users, install the JMicron HW RAID Manager located on the

SATA Controller CD. In the CD, go to Configuration Utilities > JMB393. This

manager can be use to create and monitor the status of the RAID volume.

It is recommended to use the default factory RAID DIP switch setting when

using the JMicron HW RAID Manager.

2. Modify the RAID mode on the 5-port HPM-XUusing DIP switch

Recommended to be used on operating system without JMicron HW RAID

Manager support like Linux, Mac& Solaris. Windows users can also use the

procedure below.

Note: Steps A to D need to be performed each time the raid mode is modified.

a. Set the DIP switch to factory default setting.

b. Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.

c. While pressing the RAID setting button turn on the system power

where the HPM is connected. The buzzer will sound while holding the

RAID setting button. Release it after at least 5 seconds for hardware

initialization. A single beep will be heard to indicate initialization is

completed. The above steps act as a reset.

d. Power off the system power.

f. Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.

g. While pressing the RAID setting button turn on the system power

where the HPM is connected. The buzzer will sound while holding the

RAID setting button. Release it after at least 5 seconds for hardware

initialization.A single beep will be heard to indicate initialization is

completed.

h. Verify if the RAID array is detected by the system.

i. If the 5-port HPM-XUis connected tothe motherboard onboard

SATA, on the CMOS setup utility, the raid array will display as

“Addonics H/W RAID5” if setup as a RAID5 array.

j. If the 5-port HPM-XUis connected to an eSATA host controller card,

on the RAIDBIOS, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W

RAID0” if setup as a RAID0 array.

k. If booted into Windows, in Disk Drives under Device Manager, the

raid array will display as “Addonics H/W LARGE” if setup as a

LARGE array.

l. Once raid array is verified, you can set the buzzer either ON or OFF.

Clone Mode

When 2 drives are

connected tothe HPM-XU,

and DIP switch is set tothis

setting, the 2 drives will be

configured as a 2-drive

RAID1 array.

Clone’s action is similar to

RAID1. However, all of the

hard drives will be mirrored.

Clone mode is useful

especially when users like

to copy data from a source

hard drive tothe drives

connected tothe HPM-XU.

RAID Setting Notes:

When 4 drives are connected tothe HPM-XU, the 4 drives will be

configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.

Notes on Spare Drives using the Easy RAID Setting (EZ)

WhenEZ 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 before RAID building or a new drive can be plug

as the spare drive when RAID rebuild is required.

A. Which port acts as a spare drive?

The last drive will automatically become the spare drive.

For a 3-drive RAID5 with spare:

Drives connected to SATA ports 1~3 belong to the active RAID5

array and drive connected to port 4 is the spare.

For a 4-drive RAID10 with spare:

Drives connected to SATA ports 1~4 belong to the active RAID10

array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare.

For a 2-drive RAID1 with spare:

Drives connected to SATA ports 1& 4 belong to the active RAID1

array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare.

B. When will rebuild action start?

•When the raid fails andEZ is enabled, the HPM-XU will

automatically rebuild the RAID group using the spare.

•When the raid fails andEZ is disabled, the HPM-XU will NOT

rebuild the raid group unless you install a good drive to replace the

failed drive.

Connecting the Power Cable and Storage Tower to the

Computer

a. Connect the power cord provided from the

wall outlet to the back of the tower.

b. Make sure the power is off (power LED

light should be off).

c. Connect the eSATA or USB3 cable from

the back of the tower to the matching

port on the computer.

Power on/off control

a. A main power switch is located at the back

of the tower. Turn the switch on. Another

auxiliary switch is located on the front of

the tower.

b. Make sure the power is off on the auxiliary

switch (power LED light should be off).

c. Power on the tower.
