Port Multiplier Compatibility
When configured as a set of individual drives and connected to a SATA or an
eSATA host adapter, the Port Multiplier will only work with a Port Multiplier aware
host. Identify your host controller and check with its hardware manufacturer if
you are unsure. Addonics offers several Port Multiplier aware host adapters.
Installation
1. Use the provided key to unlock the front door if needed and open it.
2. Insert a drive into each bay as desired, SATA connectors first, label side up as
shown, then press the drive firmly into place.
3. Connect the Host eSATA cable to a computer. If desired, connect an external
eSATA drive to the Drive eSATA connector.
4. Make sure the AC input switch is set correctly, then connect the power cord to
an AC outlet.
5. Set the AC power switch on the rear to ON, then press the power button
behind the front door to turn on the unit.
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 R1R2ES 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.
