Solution:

All of the SIIG PCI interface SATA controllers do not support port multiplier function. 

For port multiplier support, we suggest you upgrade to SIIG PCIe interface SATA controllers.

The SIIG PCIe interface SATA controllers listed below support port multiplier function:

- DP eSATA 6Gb/s 2-Port PCIe (SC-SA0M11-S1)
- DP eSATA 6Gb/s 2-Port PCIe i/e (SC-SA0N11-S1)
- DP SATA 6Gb/s 2-Port PCIe (SC-SA0L11-S1)
- DP SATA 6Gb/s 2S1P PCIe (SC-SA0E12-S1)
- DP SATA II PCIe (SC-SAE012-S2)
- eSATA II PCIe i/e (SC-SAE212-S2)
- eSATA II PCIe Pro (SC-SAE412-S3)
- SATA II PCIe RAID (SC-SAER12-S2)
- eSATA II 2-Port ExpressCard/34 (SC-SAEE22-S1)
- eSATA II ExpressCard (SC-SAE512-S1)
- eSATA II ExpressCard RAID (SC-SAE612-S1)
