If you are encountering problems with the RAID controller card, please check the
following issues before calling our Hotline or consulting your local dealer:

Is the RAID Controller properly installed?

Make sure that the connections between RAID Controller and IDE drives are
correct!

Check the jumper settings of the attached IDE drives (Master/Slave?)!

Note that the cables have coloured connectors. Unlike 40pin cable, the 80pin
cable cannot be swapped among its three connectors, refer to section 2!

Make sure that a power cable is attached to each drive!
