							Overview
ERROR LED: glows red temporarily when power is first connected. Will glow red steadily to indicate an I/O
error occurred on the mSATA drive.
Activity  LED:  glows  green  to  indicate  an  mSATA  device  in  inserted  and  powered  up,  blinks  to  indicate
activity. Both Drive Activity LEDs will blink rapidly during a RAID 1 rebuild function.
HOST LED: glows green to indicate connection to SATA controller, blinks to indicate activity.
Drive Installation
Insert one or two mSATA media devices into the Drive connectors, at an angle, then press downward gently
until the drive snaps in place under the retaining clip.
Port Multiplier Compatibility
The Port Multiplier built into this device will  only work with a Port Multiplier aware SATA host adapter when
configured  as  JBOD  (individual  drives).  Identify  your  host  controller  and  check  with  its  hardware
manufacturer  if  you  are  unsure.  Addonics  offers  several  Port  Multiplier  aware  host  adapters.  This
requirement does not apply to RAID Modes.
Hot Swapping
This device supports hot swapping (inserting or removing drives while the drives are running and connected
to a computer). The eSATA controller on the computer must also support hot swapping - be sure to confirm
this  before  attempting  to  insert  or  remove  drives  while  the  system  is  running.  Also  be  sure  to  practice  the
appropriate  safe  removal  procedure  before  proceeding.  Failure  to  practice  safe  removal  procedures  will
result in loss or corruption of data.

							Setting Up the Adapter
The Dual mSATA – SATA Adapter is factory set for JBOD Mode. Each drive will be treated as an individual
target  by  the  SATA controller,  which  is  required  to  support  Port  Multipliers.  RAID  0,  RAID  1,  and  LARGE
Modes do not require port multiplier support.
The  RAID  Mode  Jumper  Block  determines  the  mode  when  the  adapter  is  powered  up  while  the  SET
Jumpers shunt is connected between SET and GND. To set the RAID Mode, arrange the two shunts on the
RAID  Mode  Jumper  Block  according  to  the  table  below,  make  sure  the  SET Jumpers  shunt  is  connecting
SET and GND, then power up the adapter one time with a connection to a SATA controller. Once the
operating system shows the storage, the RAID Mode is configured.
After  the RAID  Mode  has  been  set  up  correctly, the  SET Jumper  may  be disabled by  moving  the shunt  to
connect between SET and NC to prevent unintended configuration later.
NOTE: An existing RAID can only be changed to JBOD Mode. To change the type of RAID, you must first
delete the RAID by powering up the adapter with the jumpers set to JBOD Mode one time, then disconnect
power and set the desired RAID Mode afterward.
