3. Connect the SATA cable of the eSATA bracket to a free SATA port of your PC
mainboard.
7. Configuration
7.1 Preparation
1. SATA host connection
This installation guide assumes that you have already connected the 5-BAy RAID
STATION to a SATA or eSATA host controller with Port Multiplier (PM) support.
Note:
If you use a host controller that does not provide Port Multiplier support (such as Intel
ICH), the CLEAN mode is not available when configuring the 5-BAY RAID STATION.
Only one disk is available on the host computer.
2. USB host connection
If you are connecting your 5-BAy RAID STATION using an USB connection to your
host, the USB port should be compliant with USB2.0 or 3.0.
2. Insert the included eSATA bracket into the slot bracket and attach it to the case using
the anchor screw (fig. 7).
