Note: You need to verify that the eSATA port you are connecting the tower is port
multiplier compatible. If it is connected to a non-port multiplier compatible host
controller, the operating system will only see one drive out of the five connected
and that is the drive connected to port 1.
For example, when the tower is connected to a SATA Host controller with SiI3124
or SiI3132 chip which is port multiplier compatible, in the RAID BIOS of the host
controller, you will only see one drive and that is the drive connected to port 1 on
the hardware PM.
All the SATA drives connected to the tower will show in the SATARAID5 Array
Manager of the SATA Host controller with SiI3124 or SiI3132 chip.
