Two Options for Setting RAID on the Compact RAID Box

(only select one option)

I. Using the JMicron HW RAID Manager utility program

For Windows users, install the JMicron HW RAID Manager located on the
SATA Controller CD. In the CD, go to RAID utilities > JMB393. This manager
can be used to create and monitor the status of the RAID volume.

Use the RESERVE DIP switch setting when using the JMicron HW RAID
Manager.

II. Using the onboard RAID DIP switch

RAID Status

RAID 0 (stripped) ON ON ON
RAID 10 ON ON OFF

JBOD (Large) ON OFF ON
RAID 3 ON OFF OFF
Clone OFF ON ON
RAID 5 OFF ON OFF

RESERVED OFF OFF ON
Normal (Individual drives) OFF OFF OFF

a. Select the setting desired using the DIP switch table.
b. Using the provided eSATA to eSATA cable, connect one end to the

eSATA port on the RAID box and the other end to the eSATA controller
card.

c. Press the power switch button for more than 2 seconds. Wait for power

LED status to change from starting to ready.

d. Press the “Change mode” button for more than 2 seconds. This will

configure the raid volume.

e. Navigate to the Disk Management utility to configure the drives.

Note: for the system to detect multiple individual drives, the RAID box must be
connected to a port multiplier compatible eSATA host controller. If the RAID box
is NOT connected to a port multiplier compatible eSATA host controller, the
system will only detect one drive and that is the hard drive in slot HD0.
