Buzzer Reset 
LED Display 
Power Switch: This is the switch to power on devices connected to the power supply. The 
power LED will light up to indicate power is supplied. 
Note: The main power switch located at the back of the enclosure must be turned on first. 
Reset Button: Not operational.  
Buzzer Reset: Pressing the button stops the buzzer from making a sound. The buzzer will 
make a sound when temperature inside the storage rack exceeds the temperature setting 
on the Thermal Management card. 
Power LED: Lights up when the power switch is turned on.  
Temp LED: Lights up when temperature setting inside the storage rack exceeds the setting 
on the thermal card. 
Fan LED: Normally on when fan is operational. If an abnormal condition is detected, the 
LED flashes.

When Ambient temperature (or temperature inside the storage rack) is over the set 
temperature, the LED will flash and the buzzer will sound.

indicating HDD access. 
POWER SWITCH 
Each individual hard drive on the disk array has its own 
power switch. 
TURNING ON a Hard Drive 
To turn on a hard drive, using a pointed object insert it on 
the circular slot (D1 – D5) located on top of the power logo 
and push it. The power and HDD access LED (D7 – D11) 
would light up (green color). 
TURNING OFF a Hard Drive 
To turn off a hard drive, using a pointed object insert it on 
the circular slot (D1 – D5) located on top of the power logo 
and push it. The power and HDD access LED (D7 – D11) 
goes off.
 Press the Reset Switch to stop the alarm, and Overheating LED goes off.

Two Options for Setting RAID on the 5-port HPM-XA 
(only select one option) 
I.  Using the JMicron HW RAID Manager utility program 
For Windo 
Controller CD. In the CD, go to RAID utilities > JMB393. This manager can be use to 
create and monitor the status of the RAID volume. 
Use th 
Manager. 
II. 
Using the onboard RAID setting jumper block 
(Complete the 7 steps below) 
Recommended t
support like Linux, Mac & Solaris. Windows users can also used the procedure below. 
1. Set the J4 RAID setting jumper block as shown below. 
(ignore EZ pins, EZ is DISABLED) 
2. 
Turn on the system power where the HPM is connected for at least 5 seconds for 
hardware initialization. This step acts as a reset. 
3. Power off the system power. 
4. On the J4 RAID setting jumper block, change (M0~M2) jumper setting to the desired 
RAID mode using the diagram on the next page as reference. 
All settings on the diagram shows 
  RAID mode setting modification is ENAABLED (SET) 
  Error buzzer function is DISABLED (BZS) 
ws users, install the JMicron HW RAID Manager located on the SATA 
e default factory RAID jumper setting when using the JMicron HW RAID 
o be used on operating system without JMicron HW RAID Manager 

B. Or to the diagram below where buzzer is ENABLED. 
Note: Steps 1 ~ 4 needs to performed each time the raid mode is modified. 
5. Power on the system power. 
6. Verify if the RAID array is detected by the system 
a. If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to the motherboard onboard SATA, on the 
CMOS setup utility, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W RAID5” if setup 
as a RAID5 array. 
b. If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to an eSATA host controller card, on the RAID 
BIOS, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W RAID0” if setup as a RAID0 
array. 
c. If booted into Windows, in Disk Drives under Device Manager, the raid array will 
display as “Addonics H/W LARGE” if setup as a RAID0 array. 
7. Once raid array is verified, turn off the system then you MUST set back the RAID 
jumper setting to either: 
A. Default setting 
Note: On the setting where buzzer is ENABLED, there is NO jumper on  SET.

AID Auto rebuild 
Connect one end of the eSATA cable to the eSATA port on the RAID Rack and the 
other end to the eSATA port on your system. 
Attach one end of the infiniband cable to the multilane port on the RAID Rack and the 
other end to the multilane port on your system. 
When 2 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, and J4 is 
set to this setting, the 2 drives will be configured as a 
2-drive RAID1 array. 
When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, the 4 
drives will be configured as a 4-drive RAID10 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 to the drives connected to the HPM-XA. 
In reference to the diagram, auto-rebuilding is 
ENABLED (EZ) 
When EZ mode is ENABLED, the degraded RAID 
group will start rebuilding automatically when you 
install a good drive to replace the failed drive.
