3. Overview
The HD Commander contains five removable 3Gb SATA disk drives. The drives
are connected to an internal Port Multiplier device where all five drives can be
accessed with one simple external SATA connection.
A PCI-e x8 or PCI-x 64bit/133MHz four eSATA port host adapter is supplied as
well as a 1-meter eSATA cable.
3.1. Removing the Bezel
The front bezel can be easily removed to access the Disk Modules. The bezel is
held on by four snap pins located at each of the four corners.
Using one hand or both hands, firmly grab the left and right side curved openings
and pull forward.
3.2. Disk Modules, Indicators, Controls, Connections
The disk enclosure has stand alone self-monitoring features. It monitors the
temperature and the fan continuously. Should the temperature exceed a safe
operating range or the fan spin below a preset minimum, the alarm will be
triggered. A red indicator light will come on plus an audible alarm will sound.
Audible Alarm can be muted by pressing the green Mute button. The red
indicator remains on until the condition is corrected.
