f. Press the RAID setting button with a ball point pen.

RAID setting button. Release it after at least 5 seconds for hardware
initialization. A single beep will be heard to indicate initialization is
completed.
h. Verify if the RAID array is detected by the system.
i. If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to the motherboard onboard
SATA, on the CMOS setup utility, the raid array will display as
“Addonics H/W RAID5” if setup as a RAID5 array.
j. If the 5-port HPM-XA is connected to an eSATA host controller card,
on the RAID BIOS, the raid array will display as “Addonics H/W
RAID0” if setup as a RAID0 array.
k. If booted into Windows, in Disk Drives under Device Manager, the
raid array will display as “Addonics H/W LARGE” if setup as a
LARGE array.

Notes on Spare Drives using the Easy RAID Setting (EZ)
When EZ function is ENABLED, the auto-rebuilding to spare drive is automatic.
The degraded RAID group will start rebuilding automatically by using the existing
spare drive.
* Spare drive can be either plugged before RAID building or a new drive can be plug
as the spare drive when RAID rebuild is required.
A. Which port acts as a spare drive?
The last drive will automatically become the spare drive.
For a 3-drive RAID5 with spare:
Drives connected to SATA ports 1~3 belong to the active RAID5
array and drive connected to port 4 is the spare.
For a 4-drive RAID10 with spare:
Drives connected to SATA ports 1~4 belong to the active RAID10
array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare.
For a 2-drive RAID1 with spare:
Drives connected to SATA ports 1& 4 belong to the active RAID1
array and drive connected to port 5 is the spare.
B. When will rebuild action start?
• When the raid fails and EZ is enabled, the HPM-XA will
automatically rebuild the RAID group using the spare.
• When the raid fails and EZ is disabled, the HPM-XA will NOT
rebuild the raid group unless you install a good drive to replace the
failed drive.
