15. Shut down the computer.

16. Move DIP switch 2 to ON to select the striping mode (Figure 8).

17. If you removed the card to move the DIP switches, verify the card is seated

firmly in the slot.

18. Recheck the cable connections; make sure all cables are properly connected

to the Tempo RAID66 and the hard drives.

19. Close the computer and carefully replace its case cover; be very careful not to

crimp the cables.

20. Turn on your computer.

21. Open Drive Setup again. You will see instead of

for each volume (pair of hard drives) connected to the
Tempo RAID66; you must now initialize each of the unmounted volumes
(Figure 9).

22. Name each of the volumes once they have been initialized; each pair of hard

drives (a volume) will appear on the desktop as a single “virtual” drive
(Figure 10). Your drives are now ready for use.

Support Note:

The Tempo RAID66 creates one striped volume for each

pair of hard drives installed – one pair of drives creates one volume, two

pairs of drives create two volumes.
