1. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.

2. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.

3. Choose an unused PCI Express bus slot.

4. Unscrew and remove the slot cover. Retain the screw; you will use it when you

install the SATA3 PCIe RAID Card.

5. Place the SATA3 PCIe RAID Card into the slot. Carefully press the board into

the slot until it seats firmly.

6. Secure the SATA3 PCIe RAID Card with the slot cover screw.

7. Install the internal SATA cables from the SATA connectors of the PCIe RAID

Card to your SATA hard drives.

8. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover

screws.

9. Power up the PC and observe the monitor. The BIOS lists all Serial ATA hard

drives attached to the SATA3 PCIe RAID Card. For example:

If the information displayed on your screen is correct (the installed devices are

listed with the correct device name, etc.), congratulations! You have

successfully installed the SATA3 PCIe RAID Card in your computer.

The SATA3 PCIe RAID Card supports Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)

mode which gives software developers and hardware designers a standard method

for detecting, configuring, and programming SATA/AHCI adapters. It exposes

SATA's advanced capabilities (such as hot swapping and native command queuing)

so it does not need extra drivers for the modern operating systems. The following

table lists the operation system supported:

Operating Systems

Linux Based

Yes (with Kernel 2.6.19 or later)

The PCIe RAID Card hardware has two portions, one is the PCIe to SATA3

host interface which supports AHCI mode. The other is a SATA3 hardware

RAID controller which combines the 4 SATA3 hard drives to specific RAID

mode by the RAID GUI management utility.

Once JMB39X HW RAID Manager is launched, the JMB39X HW RAID Manager GUI

window will be opened. For the consideration of different user experiences and

achieving the ease of navigation, the main GUI is divided into two modes (“Basic

mode” and “Advance mode”).

Basic Mode: Click the following buttons to do basic RAID configuration and

browse all disks and RAID information as well as the event logs:

Advanced Mode: It provides 3 buttons for Email Notification and Event

Settings, advanced RAID Configuration and Firmware Update:
