Ultra ATA66 Cable/Drive Configurations

The Tempo Ultra ATA66 allows the connection of
up to four internal IDE hard drives (with the
purchase of an additional ATA66 cable); for
example, two primary (master) and two secondary
(slave) hard drives. Regardless of the number of
drives, the master drive, or in the case of one drive,
must always be installed on the end of the Ultra
ATA66 cable for proper termination. If a slave
drive is installed, it should be connected to the
intermediate connector on the cable.

Figures 6-7 illustrate the possible drive connection
configurations available with the Tempo Ultra
ATA66 with one Ultra ATA66 cable.

Support Note:

When an existing drive

(one with data on it already) is connected

to the Tempo Ultra ATA66, you must reinitialize
the drive for your system to recognize it. Since all
data will be erased, make a backup if necessary
prior to connecting the drive to the Tempo.
