RAID Rack with Port Multiplier Compatibility

Note: When configured as a set of individual drives, the Port Multiplier
will only work with a Port Multiplier aware host. Identify your host control­ler and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are unsure. Addonics
offers several Port Multiplier capable host adapters.

Power Supply and Host Connection

The redundant power supply provides 500W of power. Before turning on
the main switch located on the front panel of the RAID Rack, connect and
switch on both units in this power supply. If only one power supply is
running, an audible alarm will sound.

Connect the unit to a computer using the provided mini SAS cable before
powering up the RAID Rack.

Installing drives into the RAID Rack

1. Be sure the lock on each drive door is in an unlock position. If not, use the key
that comes with the Disk Array to unlock the drive door. Pull on the door lever to
swing open the drive door all the way.

2. Slide a 3.5” SATA hard drive into the drive slot with the drive connector side
facing in. Be sure to orient the hard drive correctly as shown in the yellow label
on the inside of the drive door – with drive door swing open at the bottom, the
top of the hard drive should face to the right. The drive should slide all the way
into the slot with very little resistance. Forcing the drive into the slot will cause
drive damage or permanent damage to the Disk Array.

3. Once the drive is all the way into the drive slot, close the door all the way till the
drive door latch securely. This will engage power and data connection with the
hard drive. The LED lit for the drive slot should lit if the Disk Array already
powered on. You may lock the drive door with the key.

4. To remove the hard drive from the Disk Array, simply follow the step 2 – 3 in
reverse.
