Setting or Modifying the RAID Mode Using the JMicron 
HW RAID Manager Utility Program:
1.  For Windows users, install the JMicron HW RAID Manager located on the  
  SATA Controller CD. In the CD, go to Configuration Utilities > JMB393. This  
  manager can be use to create and monitor the status of the RAID volume.
  It is recommended to use the default factory RAID DIP switch setting when  
  using the JMicron HW RAID Manager.
2.  Modify the RAID mode on the 5-port HPM-XA using DIP switch
  Recommended to be used on operating system without JMicron HW RAID  
  Manager support like Linux, Mac & Solaris. Windows users can also use th\
e  
  procedure below.
Note: Steps A to D need to be performed each time the raid mode is modified.
  a.  Set the DIP switch as shown below. 
 
  b.  Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.
  c.  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. The above steps act as a reset.
  d.  Power off the system power.

							  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.
  l.  Once raid array is verified, you can set the buzzer either ON or OFF.

Clone Mode
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.
RAID Setting Notes:
When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, the 4 drives will be 
configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.
