Device Notes
The first 2 SATA ports appear to be connected both to the SoCs built in SATA and to the PCI SATA chip (88SE9215). It looks like when starting it uses this connection to boot from the first two drives and then rediscovers them after the kernel loads the drivers for the PCI device. Presumably this is why this device requires a drive present in bay 1 or 2 to boot.

Like most of the other Terastation models most of the buttons and LEDS are controlled by a separate micro-controller that the system communicates with via a serial connection.
