Storage Rack
(SRDAP46SL / SRDAP46RSL)
Storage Rack DA with Port Multiplier Using Multilane 
Connection
Note: The Port Multiplier will only work with Port Multiplier aware multilane \
host 
controllers. It is compatible with multilane host controllers using the \
Silicon Image 
Chip SiI3124 & SiI3132.
When the port multiplier (PM) is connected to the multilane host contr\
oller with 
SiI3124 or SiI3132 chip, in the RAID BIOS of the host controller, you will only see 
one drive and that is the drive connected to SATA port 1 on the Port Multiplier.
All SATA drives connected to the PM will show in the SATARAID5 Array Manager.
Refer to the SATARAID5 Management Utility User Guide V1.6 for RAID 
implementation

e_v1.60.pdf

Power Supply
ATX Power Supply
This power supply provides 430W of 
power. Before turning on the main 
switch located on the front panel of 
the storage rack, turn on the power 
switch of the power supply.
Redundant Power Supply
This power supply includes two 
modules within it, each of which is 
capable of powering the entire 
system by itself. If for some reason 
there is a failure in one of the 
modules, the other one will 
seamlessly take over to prevent the 
loss of power to the PC. You can 
replace the damaged unit without 
powering the machine down. This is 
called hot swapping.
Power LED for Power Supply: 
Green Light: When the main power switch located on the front of the storage rack is 
turned on, the power LED will light up.
Red Light: When one of the module power switch is off or the module failed, the 
LED emits a red light and the buzzer will sound.
Module Power Switch: Each module has its own switch. 
Module Power LED: By default, it emits a green light when the module power 
switch is on. If the module power switch is turned off, the power LED for the power 
supply emits a red light.
Buzzer Reset Button: If one of the power modules fail or if the module power 
switch is turned off, the buzzer will sound. To reset the buzzer, click on the buzzer 
reset button.
Replacing a failed power module:
1.  Loosen the screw that secures the module to the power unit.
2.  Firmly hold the handle of the module and pull it away from the power sup\
ply.
