To remove a drive, pull the Eject Lever until the drive disengages from the internal connector then pull the drive out. Hot Swapping drives The R1ESU3F unit supports hot swapping (inserting or removing drives while the drives are running and connected to a computer). - Page 4 Port Multiplier Modes The Port Multiplier supports individual drives (JBOD Mode), several types of RAID and some non-RAID drive sets. Each configuration has different properties and requirements, as follows: JBOD Mode (Individual Drives) Number of drives: at least 1 Unit capacity: N/A (100% of each individual drive) Spares: no Fault tolerance: none JBOD mode offers all connected units to the host adapter, no RAID is defined at...
- Page 5 RAID 5 (Stripe set with striped parity) Number of drives: at least 3 Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one. Spares: yes Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data. RAID 5 works by striping entire I/O blocks across all members of the set, with each member taking turns carrying parity data computed by the Port Multiplier.
- Page 6 Configuring the Port Multiplier Using Switches Resetting the RAID NOTE: This procedure destroys all RAID data. It should not harm individual drives or their contents; however, creating backups of all data is strongly recommended before proceeding. Be sure the port multiplier is connected to an active host before proceeding. The port multiplier will not complete the process if it has no host connection.
- Page 7 Configuring the Port Multiplier Using the JMicron RAID Manager Windows users may install the JMicron HW RAID Manager application located on the SATA Controller CD, or download it from http://addonics.com/drivers/driver_list.php. In the CD, browse to Configuration Utilities → JMB393. Mac and Linux users may download those versions of the same utility from http://addonics.com/drivers/driver_list.php under “Port Multiplier &...
- Page 8 Next, click the Basic RAID Configuration tab and select the type of RAID desired. Note that RAID 1 is currently disabled as an option since more than two individual drives are available, and DELETE ALL RAID is disabled since there are currently no arrays to delete.
- Page 9 The RAID and Disk Information screen (shown when the program was launched) will now show the Port Multiplier with an Array. The drives are now listed as M0-M4, indicating they are members of the array. If spares are present (individual drives added later, and the EZ switch is in the OFF position), they would be listed as S0, S1, etc.
