4. 설정 및 설치

중요한: Before beginning installation, ensure your computer is powered off and disconnected from the power source. It is recommended to wear an anti-static wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic components.

4.1 시스템 요구 사항

• Available M.2 NVMe slot (M-key, PCIe 3.0 x2 or higher).
• Motherboard support for M.2 PCIe Bifurcation is highly recommended for optimal performance and recognition of all 5 SATA drives. Without bifurcation support, your system may only recognize a limited number of drives. Consult your motherboard manual for details.
• Operating System: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32 & 64bit), Linux.

4.2 설치 단계

1. 어댑터를 준비하세요: If the heatsink is not pre-assembled, carefully attach the aluminum heatsink to the adapter PCB using the provided screws. Ensure proper alignment.
2. M.2 슬롯 찾기: Open your computer case and locate an available M.2 NVMe slot on your motherboard.
3. 어댑터를 삽입합니다: Gently insert the JEYI NVMe M.2 to 5-Port SATA Adapter into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle. Push down the adapter until it is parallel with the motherboard.
4. 어댑터를 고정하세요: Secure the adapter with the M.2 mounting screw provided with your motherboard or the adapter kit.
5. SATA 드라이브 연결: Connect your SATA SSDs or HDDs to the five SATA ports on the adapter using standard SATA data cables. Ensure the cables snap securely into place.
6. 전력 공급: Ensure all connected SATA drives receive adequate power from your power supply unit (PSU).
7. 케이스를 닫고 전원을 켜세요: 컴퓨터 케이스를 닫고 전원 케이블을 다시 연결한 후 시스템 전원을 켜십시오.

5. 사용 설명서

Once installed, the JEYI NVMe M.2 to 5-Port SATA Adapter operates as a standard SATA controller. Your operating system should automatically detect the new SATA ports and any connected drives without requiring additional drivers.

• 드라이브 인식: After booting, check your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or disk utility (Linux) to verify that all connected drives are recognized.
• 드라이브 포맷: New drives will need to be initialized, partitioned, and formatted before use.
• Software RAID: If you intend to use a software RAID configuration, refer to your operating system's documentation for setting up RAID groups. The adapter supports 5-drive software RAID groups, but this functionality is managed by the operating system, not the adapter itself.
• 성능: The adapter supports SATA III speeds up to 6GB/s per port, with a total uplink bandwidth of 1700 MB/s via PCIe 3.0 x2. Actual performance may vary based on your system configuration and connected drives.

6. 유지관리

The JEYI NVMe M.2 to 5-Port SATA Adapter is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• 깨끗하게 유지하십시오: Periodically inspect the adapter for dust accumulation, especially around the heatsink fins. Use compressed air to gently remove dust.
• 보안 연결: Ensure all SATA data and power cables remain securely connected to prevent intermittent drive issues.
• 환경 조건: Operate the adapter within standard computer operating temperatures and humidity levels.

7. 문제 해결

If you encounter issues with your JEYI NVMe M.2 to 5-Port SATA Adapter, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• 드라이브가 감지되지 않았습니다:
  • Check M.2 Bifurcation: Verify that your motherboard supports M.2 PCIe Bifurcation. Without this feature, not all 5 drives may be recognized. Consult your motherboard manual or BIOS settings.
  • 보안 연결: Ensure all SATA data and power cables are firmly connected to both the adapter and the drives.
  • 전원 공급 장치: Confirm that your power supply unit (PSU) has sufficient wattage and available power connectors for all connected drives.
  • 어댑터 좌석: Re-seat the M.2 adapter firmly into its slot on the motherboard.
  • BIOS/UEFI 설정: Check your system's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the M.2 slot is enabled and configured correctly (e.g., set to PCIe mode if applicable).
• 느린 성능:
  • 케이블 품질: Use high-quality SATA III cables.
  • 건강 운전하기: Check the health and performance of your individual SSDs/HDDs.
  • 시스템 부하: High system load or other active storage devices can impact performance.
• Intermittent Drive Disconnections:
  • 케이블 무결성: Inspect SATA cables for damage. Replace if necessary.
  • 전력 안정성: Ensure stable power delivery to the drives.
  • 열 문제: While the adapter has a heatsink, ensure adequate airflow within your PC case to prevent overheating of components.
