Installation Preparation
Prior to installing additional hard drives into your system, you should familiar-
ize yourself with the parts to be installed. We also strongly recommend that
you read the section in your computer’s user manual that addresses hard drive
installation.
1. Identify the connectors on an Ultra ATA cable (sold separately) as shown
in Figure 3; the host connector plugs into the Tempo HD 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 the hard drive. Figure 4 shows the two most
common jumper block locations.
Standard Hard Drive Installation Steps
This section covers the installation and confi guration one or two standard hard
drives into your system.
1. Shut down your 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.
3. Confi gure the 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.
• When connecting two drives, you must set the jumpers on one drive to
the master setting, and to the slave setting on the other.
4. Install the hard drives into your computer’s expansion bays. (Depending
on your computer model, drive mounting brackets/carriers or drive
mounting sleds may be required to install your hard drives. Refer to your
computer’s user manual.)

. Support Note: Refer to the hard drive user’s manual for jumper set-
ting 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.
Support Note: Technical knowledge may be required to gain access to
the drive expansion bays in certain computer models. We recommend
you first consult your computer’s user manual. If you feel you are unable to
install the computer hardware, contact a qualified technician.
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.
