Installing drives into the RAID Tower V Step 1 Use a Philips screwdriver to secure the 3.5” SATA hard drive to the drive tray Step 2 Slide the tray into the Disk Array drive bay. Note: It is recommended to fill up the RAID Tower IX with SATA drives from top to bottom. This is to help in identifying which drives connects to which ports for easier troubleshooting. Note: The 5 port HPMXA system version PCB board is mounted inside the RAID tower and is connected to the multilane bridge that is mounted at the back of the RAID tower.

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-XA using 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 as shown below. OFFOFFOFFOFFOFF 1 2 3 4 5 SW1 BZS EZ M2 M1 M0 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.
