Installation
The installation of this unit was very simple, and the instructions
that were included in the User's Guide were quite comprehensive,
they included pictures for every step. After breezing through
the User's Guide it was time to get to work.
Safety First!
But of course!
Determine which hard drive you are going to use
in what position, so you will know when you want to access it,
you know which is which.
This is where you determine the jumper settings.
Here are a few other setups:

Make sure that this is done before you install
the Trios II, or it will be very difficult.
The Trios II with the cables connected.
Any PCI card slot on the motherboard will work,
especially since it is only their for mounting purposes. The
card draws nothing from the PCI slot on the motherboard, it
is just inserted there for mounting purposes.
Connect the IDE cables to the appropriate drives
designated in step 3.
Connect the last IDE cable to the motherboard.
Connect the Molex connectors (included) to the
hard drives. And the other end of the cable to the Trios II
card.
Disconnect the main power cable from the motherboard,
and connect it to the Extended Power Cable. Then connect the
other end of it back to the motherboard, and the small connector
on it, to the Trios II.
Replace the computer cover.
Now the final step. Connect the control panel
to the Trios II.
And that's all there is to installing
the Romtec Trios II. Next we had to set the control panel. Once
everything was reconnected including the power cable, the control
panel was on, we had to select . and BEFORE the PC was turned
on.
1. Single Drive Mode
Each Hard Drive runs independently with their own Operating
System.
Press 
to cycle through Drives, and select Drive to run.
2. Dual Drive Mode
Run 2 Drives simultaneously and transfer data between the Drives
Press
and select Drive 1, then Press 
to select Second Drive
This is how my case looked after I installed the Trios II, a
bit cluttered.
Now it was time to get everything
running!
