Support Notes: We recommend that you make a backup of important

information on your system’s current hard drive prior to installing new

hardware or software.

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.

Installation Preparation

Prior to installing the Tempo ATA100 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 ATA100 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.

Support Note: Most hard drives are factory preset for use as a single

or master drive. To change the setting, you will need to reconfigure the
hard drives’ jumpers. Be sure the jumpers are configured properly, otherwise,
your computer may not boot, or your new drives may not be recognized.

Hardware Installation Steps

This section covers the installation of the Tempo ATA100, and the confi gura­tion and installation of one or more hard drives into your system.

1. Shut down the computer.

2. Open your computer to access the expansion card area (PCI slots) and

drive bay(s); refer to your computer’s user manual for specifi c information.

. Support Note: Refer to the hard drive user’s manual for jumper

setting information specific to your drives. Alternately, you may find

jumper setting information printed on your hard drives’ labels. Make sure the
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 set-

ting when available, or the master setting when not (Figure 3). When
connecting 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)
(Figure 3).
