Installation Preparation
Prior to connecting any drive enclosures and inserting the Tempo SATA
Pro ExpressCard/34 into your computer, familiarize yourself with the
parts. We also recommend that you read the section in your computer’s
user manual that addresses ExpressCard use.
1. Figure 1 shows the Tempo card’s drive activity LEDs and eSATA
ports. Data cables with eSATA connectors are required for use with
the Tempo card and most drive enclosures. Bare SATA drives and
some older drive enclosures use SATA I connectors; use of these
devices with the Tempo card requires the use of cables with a SATA I
connector on one end.
2. Figure 2 shows both eSATA and SATA I connectors.
