Ultra AT A66

Macintosh

PCI Host Adapter. The Tempo Ultra AT A66 allows you to install up to four internal IDE hard drives (with the purchase of an additional AT A66 cable) into most PCI-based Power Macintosh

computers, providing mass storage options beyond SCSI to the larger, faster , and more affordable Ultra AT A/66 hard drives.

This documentation assumes you have a working knowledge of the Macintosh and its operating conventions. If you are unfamiliar with the Macintosh, see your computer’s documentation.

Preface

Support Note:

Like most technologies,

IDE devices have their own vocabulary. The following terms may be helpful as you read this manual.

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) – A standard electronic interface between a PCI-based system’s memory and disk storage devices. EIDE, an enhanced version of IDE, is commonly used in PCI computers.

ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) – The “official” name used by the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to describe IDE technology.

Ultra ATA/66 – Ultra ATA/66 is the latest drive data transfer protocol used in today’s disk storage devices. It incorporates ATA/IDE technology with data transfer rates up to 66MB/sec, effectively doubling the burst data rate of the previous transfer protocol, Ultra ATA/33. Ultra ATA/66 provides greater system throughput and data transfer integrity.

About the Tempo Ultra ATA66

viii

W e strongly recommend reading through this entire manual if this is your ﬁrst installation of the hardware. The installation of the Tempo Ultra AT A66 with additional internal IDE hard drives requires that your computer have one available PCI slot and, depending on the number of drives being installed, unoccupied drive expansion bays.

Figure 1 illustrates the location and installation of the Tempo Ultra ATA66 into a PCI slot; your computer’s logic board and location of PCI slots may differ from what is pictured.

Figures 2-4 illustrate the location of drive expansion bays in popular desktop and tower-based Power Macintosh computers.

Identifying Ultra ATA66 Cable

There are three types of AT Acables available. Depending on the type of drive being connected, it is important to use the right cable.

• Ultra ATA66 Cable – The Ultra AT A66 cable

(Figure 5) packaged with the Tempo Ultra AT A66 connects the Tempo to your IDE hard drive. It features an 80-conductor cable with three 40-pin connectors and allows the connection of up to two drives. This cable is required to take advantage of Ultra AT A/66 technology; however, it is fully backward-compatible with Ultra AT A/33 drives.

• Standard ATA Cable – Uses a 40-pin,

40-conductor cable to connect IDE drives to the 40-pin IDE connectors of PCI-based computers. A standard AT A cable supports ATA/33 but does not support Ultra AT A/66 technology.

• CS (Cable Select) ATA Cable – Not commonly

used, the CS AT A cable is required when each drive on the cable has an identical CS jumper setting. A CS ATAcable is not supported with the T empo Ultra AT A66.

Support Note:

If you are planning on

adding three or four drives to your computer, you will require an additional Ultra ATA66 cable, which is sold separately. DO NOT use a CS ATA cable. It is not supported.

Ultra ATA66 Cable/Drive Conﬁgurations

The Tempo Ultra ATA66 allows the connection of up to four internal IDE hard drives (with the purchase of an additional ATA66 cable); for example, two primary (master) and two secondary (slave) hard drives. Regardless of the number of drives, the master drive, or in the case of one drive, must always be installed on the end of the Ultra AT A66cable for proper termination. If a slave drive is installed, it should be connected to the intermediate connector on the cable.

Figures 6-7 illustrate the possible drive connection conﬁgurations available with the Tempo Ultra AT A66 with one Ultra ATA66 cable.

Conﬁguring Your Hard Drive

Sonnet has tested the Tempo Ultra ATA66 with popular IDE hard drives. The information and examples in this chapter are provided to aid you in conﬁguring a hard drive. In addition, you may need to refer to your hard drive’s user guide.

2-1

Chapter 2

Support Note:

When an existing drive

(one with data on it already) is connected to the Tempo Ultra ATA66, you must initialize the drive for your system to recognize it. Since all data will be erased, make a backup if necessary prior to connecting the drive to the Tempo.

2-2

Mounting Brackets

Most drives need to be outﬁtted with mounting brackets before being installed into a computer. Please refer to our computer and/or drive’s user guides for details.

Jumper Block

Prior to installing a drive, you will need to conﬁgure it as either a primary (master) or secondary (slave) drive. Figure 1 lists common jumper settings. Most drives are factory preset as a master drive. To change the setting, you will need to reconﬁgure the position of the jumpers located in the jumper block. The jumper block is located at the rear of the drive (Figure 2), or on the drive’s exposed printed circuit board (Figure 3). The location of the jumper block and position of jumper pins vary depending on the manufacturer of the drive. Refer to your drive’s user guide or the jumper setting information printed on your drive.

Support Note:

When conﬁguring your

drive’s jumper pins, verify the orientation of the drive with respect to the illustration. llustrations may vary.

Jumper Pin Settings

Adjusting the jumper pins of a drive’s jumper block designates the primary (master) or secondary (slave) settings of the drive. Figures 4-7 illustrate four of the more common hard drive settings. Y our drive may differ from those pictured.

• Master Drive – The master drive (or in the case of one drive) must always be installed on the end of the Ultra AT A66 cable for proper termination. Most drives are factory preset as a master drive. Normally you do not need to reconﬁgure the jumper pins of a master drive since it is already preconﬁgured; however, if you are installing only one drive, and its jumpers allow you to set it with either a master or single setting (similar to the setting illustrated for the W estern Digital hard drive in Figure 7), conﬁgure it as a single drive.

• Slave Drive – If a secondary drive is installed onto the intermediate connector of an Ultra AT A66 cable, it is considered a slave drive and must be properly conﬁgured by adjusting the jumper pins of the drive’s jumper block.

Support Note:

Make sure to properly

conﬁgure the jumper pins of the hard drive(s) for your system set-up, or your computer may not boot.

Hard Drive Initializing

For your computer to properly recognize a hard drive it will need to be initialized with drive formatting software. The Mac OS includes Drive Setup, a drive formatting utility, which will be adequate for initializing your hard drive. Alternatively, you can use third party drive formatting software.

3-1

Chapter 3

3-2

Apple Drive Setup

The Apple Drive Setup utility allows you to initialize an unformatted hard drive. The utility is installed as a part of the Mac OS installation process and is usually installed in the Utilities folder on the hard drive of your active System Folder. As of version 1.4, Drive Setup supports the formatting of Apple’s brand of hard drives as well as drives from third party manufacturers. W e recommend using the latest version of Drive Setup which is available from Apple’s website at http://asu.info.apple.com/

To format your drive, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the Apple Drive Setup utility

icon to run the utility.

2. Select the drive you wish to format from

the Drive Setup window (Figure 1). A new uninitialized hard drive will show up as not initialized.

3. From Functions in the menu bar, select

Initialization Options… (Figure 2).

4. The Initialization Options window will appear

(Figure 3). Select Low Level Format and click

OK to begin formatting the drive.

Support Note:

An IDE hard drive

attached to the Tempo Ultra ATA66 will register as a SCSI device to the computer. For example, in Figure 1 the newly installed hard drive shows up as <not initialized> under Volume Name(s) and SCSI under Type.

Support Note:

A low level format is not

usually necessary with a new/uninitialized drive; in general, this step ensures that bad blocks of data are mapped out on the drive.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Figure 3

After the hard drive is initialized you can either partition the drive or quit the Drive Setup utility to begin using the drive. Partitioning a drive effectively creates separate volumes (“disks”) that mount to the desktop. For example, you could partition the drive into two volumes, one for applications and one for documents. Partitioning also reinitializes (erases) the drive, so it is best to do it prior to saving applications and ﬁles to it. For further information on partitioning, refer to Drive Setup Help from Help in the menu bar.

For Power Macintosh G3 Blue & White built after June 1999 and G4 Graphite models: There are three drive carriers located

on the ﬂoor of the cabinet. Depending on your computer model, you may need to disconnect the power cord bundle and internal hard drive ribbon cable (Figure 4) prior to removing a carrier. To mount a drive to a drive carrier, locate an unoccupied carrier and remove the single attachment screw found at the rear of the carrier. Detach and remove the carrier from the computer.

For Power Macintosh G3 Blue & White models built before June 1999: There is

a single drive sled that occupies the ﬂoor of the cabinet. To mount a drive to the drive sled, you will need to temporarily remove the drive sled from the computer. First, remove the drive sled attachment screw next to the internal hard drive (Figure 5). Then, disconnect the power cord bundle and internal hard drive ribbon cable from the logic board

(Figure 6). Once all the cables are clear, CAREFULLY remove the drive sled from the computer (Figure 7).

Mount Drive to Drive Carrier or Sled

1. Using a small ﬂatblade screwdriver or a

needle nose plier, properly conﬁgure the hard drive jumper pins. For further information on jumper pin settings, see Chapter 2, “Conﬁguring Y our Hard Drive.”

2. Depending on your computer model, mount

the new drive to either the single drive carrier or drive sled with appropriate screws. Attach the primary/master connector on the Ultra AT A66 cable to the hard drive; if you are unfamiliar with the Ultra AT A66 cable connectors, see page ix, for further information. Figure 8 illustrates a new drive with attached Ultra AT A66 cable mounted onto a drive sled.

3. Reinstall the drive carrier or drive sled into the

computer and attach a drive power connector to the new drive. The internal hard drive’s power cable should have an additional power connector. If disconnected earlier, reconnect the logic board power bundle and internal hard drive ribbon cable to the logic board. Y our system should appear similar to what is shown in Figure 9 after everything is reinstalled and reconnected.
