Hardware Setup

1. Install a host bus adapter (HBA) with at least two eSATA ports into

an empty expansion slot inside your computer (optional). If your

computer already has 2 available eSATA ports, you can skip this step.

Compatible HBA cards are available from WiebeTech (www.wiebetech.com).

The following general steps will work for most cards. Instructions for

individual cards may vary, so consult your host card’s user manual.

a) Power down the computer system.

b) Insert the PCI card into an available PCI slot. Do not force it, but it will take firm pressure to fully

seat the interface. It may help to gently rock the card back and forth as you apply pressure.

c) Once the card is fully seated in the slot, secure it in place with a screw.

d) Turn the computer back on.

e) Install the appropriate drivers for the card. These are usually found on the CD or diskette that

came with the card. The drivers for WiebeTech cards are found on the “Product Information &

Manuals” CD. Browse to the folder “Other WiebeTech Products - Manuals & Drivers ÆPCI,

PCIe Host Cards” and then select the subfolder for your specific model.

2. Remove a tray from the SilverSATA II SJ enclosure. Insert the included key into the lock hole to

release the tray’s handle and then slide the tray straight out.

3. Remove the plastic insert from the tray. The plastic inserts help protect the trays during

shipment. They are not needed to operate the unit, and must be removed before drives can be installed.

4. Install your SATA hard drive into the tray. Lay the drive into the frame of the removable tray,

making sure it lays flat. Align the 4 screw positions then use the included screws (#6-32) to secure the

drive into position.

5. Insert the tray into the SilverSATA II SJ unit. Gently push the tray along the sliding track into the

hard drive compartment and then close the tray, as illustrated below. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the

other tray.

6. Plug in the eSATA cables and power cord. The SilverSATA II SJ connects to your computer

through eSATA, an external application of Serial-ATA technology. One end of each cable connects to the

back of the unit. Insert the other ends into eSATA ports on the computer.

Your SilverSATA II SJ is now ready to use! Turn on the power switch on the back of the unit. If your

drives are already formatted, you can begin using them right away. New hard drives will need to be

formatted before they can be used. Initially, each drive is seen as a separate drive by the computer. If

you wish, you may format each drive into a separate volume and use them individually. If you have

software for creating a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), you may combine the drives into a

single volume for faster performance and/or data redundancy. Some operating systems, such as Mac

OS X, have this software built in.

LED Indicators

•HDD Access LED will flash blue when the computer accesses data on the hard drive.

•Power LED will glow blue if the power is turned on.

Usage with Macintosh computers

Mounting and Unmounting Volumes

When you connect the unit to the Mac for the first time and turn on the power,

you may see a message saying that the disks are unreadable. This is because

new drives must be formatted before use. The easiest way to do this is with

Mac OS X’s Disk Utility. Select “Mac OS Extended” as the format type. After

the volume is formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear

(mount) on the desktop. You can now use the volume just like an internal hard

drive.

Unmount each volume before powering down the unit by dragging the

volume’s icon to the trash bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing

Command-E. Shutting down the unit without first unmounting the volume can result in data loss.

Booting to the SilverSATA II SJ

Your ability to boot to the SilverSATA II SJ depends upon whether or not the eSATA host to which it is

connected supports this feature. Many eSATA hosts do not support booting.

Usage with Windows computers

Formatting/Mounting Volumes

If your drives are not already formatted, you must format them before use. Use Disk Management, which

you can find by right-clicking on My Computer then selecting Manage. Select NTFS for the format type.

After the volume is formatted, an icon representing the drive volume will appear in My Computer. You

can now use the volume just like an internal hard drive.

Ejecting Volumes

You will not be able to eject the SilverSATA II SJ like you can with devices that connect via FireWire or

USB. Make sure no applications are accessing data from the drives before powering off the unit. Check

the drive access LEDs to make sure no drive activity is taking place. Turning off the SilverSATA II SJ

during hard drive access could result in data loss.

Warnings and Notices

•Use only hard drives that are in perfect condition. Avoid using drives that have ever developed

bad sectors during previous usage. This could lead to possible device failure or loss of data.

•The SilverSATA II SJ supports drives of various specifications and different capacities. However,

if you wish to use the drives in a software RAID configuration, we recommend using drives of the

same brand and type for optimal performance. If drives of different capacities are used, the

capacity of the smallest drive will determine how much of each drive is used. The additional

capacity on the larger drives will not be used by the RAID.

•Creating a software RAID level 0 will allow you to use the full, combined capacity of the drives,

and offers the best data transfer speeds. However, RAID 0 offers no protection for the data. If

one drive fails in a RAID 0, the data on all of the drives is irretrievably lost. Before creating a

software RAID, investigate the various RAID types and choose the one that is best for your needs.

•If you create a software RAID 0, do not attempt to hot swap trays. Drives must be kept together in

a RAID 0, or data loss will result.
