RAID Rack with Port Multiplier Compatibility

Note: When configured as a set of individual drives, 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 capable host adapters.

Power Switch:

 This is the switch to power devices connected to the power 

supply. The power LED will light up to indicate power is supplied. 

Note: The main power switch located at the back of enclosure must be 

turned on first.

Reset Button:

 Not operational. 

Buzzer Reset:

 Pressing the button stops the overheat buzzer from making 

a sound. The buzzer will make a sound when temperature inside the 

storage rack exceeds the temperature setting on the Thermal Managment 

card.

Note: Buzzer reset switch does not silence the port multiplier buzzer. 

Power LED:

 Lights up when the power switch is turned on. 

Temp LED:

 Lights up when the temperature  setting inside the storagerack 

exceeds the setting on the thermal card. 

Fan LED: 

Normally on when fan is operational. If an abnormal condition is 

detected, the LED flashes. 

HDD LED:

 Not operational.
