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.
