Quick Start Guide for Tempo HD
5. Connect the drive(s) to an Ultra ATA cable (sold separately) as follows:
• When connecting one drive, plug in the Ultra ATA cable’s master (black)
connector to it. Verify the connector is plugged in securely (Figure 6).
• When connecting two drives, connect the Ultra ATA cable’s master
(black) connector to the drive with jumpers set in the master setting;
connect the slave (gray) connector to the drive with jumpers configured
in the slave setting.
Verify the connectors are plugged in securely
(Figure 6).
6. Locate the 4-pin power connector plugged into your computer’s existing
hard drive. You should find at least one extra power connector near the
existing drive; if you have installed only one drive, plug the extra power
connector into it. If you have installed two drives, or there are no additional
power connectors, you must use a power cable Y-adapter (sold separately).
Verify the connectors are plugged in securely.
7. Route the Ultra ATA cable to the Tempo HD card; avoid the processor’s
heat sink and make sure it will not get crushed or pinched by any part of
the case when you reassemble your computer.
8. Attach the Ultra ATA cable’s host (blue) connector to the Tempo HD card.
Verify the connector is plugged in securely (Figure 6).
9. Check the cable connections; make sure the cable is properly connected
to the Tempo HD and the hard drives.
10. Close your computer and carefully replace its cover; be very careful not to
crimp the cables.
Drive Formatting - Mac Users

are a Windows user, you must first install driver software before formatting
the drives; skip to the next page for information.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. During the boot process, one or more Disk Insertion windows will appear
stating that there is an unreadable volume; click Initialize, and then Disk
Utility will open. Use Disk Utility to set up drives connected to the Tempo
HD card; refer to Disk Utility help (Help > Disk Utility Help) for more
