							Overview
Activity LEDs: Glow to indicate connection, blink to indicate activity.
Error LEDs: Glow RED to indicate an mSATA device is connected but failing.
SET Enable Jumper:  Place shunt on SET and  GND  to  enable RAID  Setting jumpers.  Place shunt on SET
and NC to disable RAID Setting Jumpers.
RAID Setting Jumpers: Refer to RAID Setting section.
Installation
1.  Insert  mSATA device  into  the  connector  at  an  angle,
matching the notch in the connector.
2.  Press  down  gently  until  the  media  snaps  into  the
retaining clip.
3.  The  completed  assembly  may  be  mounted  onto  a
standard  2.5”  bracket  or  inserted  into  a  standard  2.5”
SATA drive enclosure.

							Port Multiplier Compatibility
When  set  for  individual  drives,  the  Port  Multiplier  built  into  this  device  will  only  work  with  a  Port  Multiplier
aware SATA host adapter. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if you are
unsure. Addonics offers several Port Multiplier aware host adapters.
RAID Setting
To  enable  RAID  Setting  Jumpers,  be  sure  the  SET Enable  Jumper  is  on  SET and  GND.  After  setting  the
RAID Mode, the SET Mode Jumper may be moved to SET and NC to preserve the setting.
Individual Drives
Connect pins 2 and 3, 5 and 6.
With  Port  Multiplier  compatible  controller,  each  mSATA  device  will
appear  as  an  individual  drive.  One  or  both  media  may  be  used.  All
other modes require both media.
RAID 0
Connect pins 1 and 2, 4 and 5.
RAID 0 involves “striping,” where the drives carry alternating sections
of the overall space. RAID 0 is designed for high performance but is not
fault tolerant. Failure of either device will result in loss of all data.
RAID 0 requires identical capacity on both drives. If the two media are different capacities, the lower capacity
drive determines “membership size.” The extra space on the other drive is unused.
RAID 1
Connect pins 2 and 3, 4 and 5.
RAID 1 “mirrors” the drives. Each drive carries a complete copy of the entire set of data. If either drive fails,
the entire set of data is preserved on the other.
RAID  1  also  requires  identical  capacity  on both  drives.  If  the two  media  are different  capacities,  the lower
capacity drive determines “membership size.” The extra space on the other drive is unused.
A RAID 1 with a failed member may be “rebuilt” by replacing the failed media with one having capacity equal
to or greater than the membership size.
NOTE:  A failed  mSATA device  may  be  indicated  by  the  Error  LED  glowing  RED,  or  the  Activity  LED  not
glowing or blinking at all.
LARGE
Connect pins 1 and 2, 5 and 6.
LARGE  Mode  “spans”  the  drives  – the lowest  portion  of  the overall  capacity  is  contained on  mSATA 1, the
higher portion contained on mSATA 2. All available space on both media is used, even if the drives are not
the same size. This set is not fault tolerant. If one of the devices fails, some of the data may or may not be
recoverable from the other.
