Hard Drive Installation Preparation:

Prior to installing additional hard drives into your system, you should familiarize
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 2; 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 anti-static packaging.

3. Locate the jumper block on the hard drive. Figure 3 shows the two most

common jumper block locations.

Hard Drive Installation Steps

This section covers the installation and configuration one or two 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 specific information.

3. Configure 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’s user 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.

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 new hard drives are factory preset for use as a sin-

gle 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.
