f. 

Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.

 

g. 

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. 

 

h. 

Verify if the RAID array is detected by the system.

 

i. 

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.

 

j. 

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.

 

k. 

If booted into Windows, in Disk Drives under Device Manager, the  

 

 

raid array will display as “Addonics H/W LARGE” if setup as a  

 

 

LARGE array.

When 2 drives are 

connected to the HPM-XA, 

and DIP switch is set to this 

setting, the 2 drives will be 

configured as a 2-drive 

RAID1 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.

When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, the 4 drives will be 

configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.

Step 1

Secure 3.5” SATA hard disk drive into the tray of the disk array using the provided 

screws. Slide the drive into the drive bay. Press the button labeled HD1~HD5. These 

are the power switches for each of the drives.

Note: It is recommended to fill up the RAID Tower III with SATA drives from top to 

bottom. This is to help in identifying which drives connect to which ports for easier 

troubleshooting.

a. 

Connect the power cord provided from the wall outlet to the back of the  

 

RAID Tower.

b. 

Make sure the power is off (power LED light should be off).

c. 

Connect either the provided USB or eSATA cable from the back of the RAID  

 

Tower to the computer. We recommend connecting the eSATA port for best  

 

performance if this port is available on your computer.

Turn on the power to the RAID Tower by pressing the power button on the front. The 

power LED light should lit indicating the power is on.
