Support Notes: We recommend that you make a backup of impor tant

When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent components
from being damaged by static electricity. Before opening your computer or
removing parts from their packages, always ground yourself first by touching
a metal part of the computer, such as a port access cover, and work in an area
free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all electronic components
only by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

WARNING : If you are installing the enclosed Tempo ATA133 card into a

system running Mac OS X Version 10.0–10.1.5, you MUST update the
card’s firmware in order for OS X to recognize any attached drive. For complete

first consult your computer’s user manual. If you feel you are unable to install
the computer hardware, contact a qualified technician.

Installation Preparation

Prior to installing the Tempo ATA133 and hard drives into your system, you
should familiarize yourself with the parts to be installed. We also strongly
recommend that you read the sections in your computer’s user manual that
address hard drive and PCI card installation.

1. Identify the connectors on the included Ultra ATA cable as shown in
Figure 1; the host connector plugs into the Tempo ATA133 controller card,
while the master and slave connectors plug into the hard drives.

2. Remove the hard drive from its packaging.

3. Locate the jumper block on your hard drive. Figure 2 shows the two
most common jumper block locations.

drives are oriented the same way as the illustration before moving jumpers.

3. Confi gure your hard drives’ jumpers as follows:

• When installing one drive, you must set its jumpers to the single setting
when available, or the master setting when not (Figure 3). When con-
necting two drives to the supplied Ultra ATA cable, you must set the
jumpers on one drive to the master setting, and to the slave setting on
the other (Figure 3).

• When installing two drives connected to two Ultra ATA cables, you
must set the jumpers on each drive to the single setting when available,
or the master setting when not (Figure 3). When connecting three or
four drives to two Ultra ATA cables, you must set the jumpers on two
drives to the master setting, and to the slave setting on the other drive(s)
