Port Multiplier Compatibility
The Port Multiplier in this unit 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.

Hot Swapping

This unit 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.
