Note:
The onboard LED's for the eSATA and USB will start blinking
while holding down the raid setting button. Once the raid
setting button is released, the PM Health LED will blink 4-6
times.
If the PM Health LED stops blinking, the raid set is set
correctly. If the PM Health LED lights up as solid green, it is a
bad setup. You need to repeat setting up the raid again.
