select if you want connect through USB or eSATA to your computer.
NOTE: When you have connected the CH3B2E to your computer with eSATA, it is possible that the unit will
only show 1 active harddisk LED. This is caused by your eSATA controller, which cannot handle multiple SATA
harddisks on 1 connection. To solve this issue, there are multiple solutions:
A. Connect the CH3B2E to your computer by USB.
B. Configure the CH3B2E to 1 of the other harddisk configurations.
C. Replace your eSATA controller by an eSATA controller which supports multiple SATA
harddisks on 1 connection.
