Quick Start Guide for Tempo ATA100
5. Using only the supplied Ultra ATA cable, you may connect one or two
drives. If you are connecting two or more drives to two Ultra ATA cables,
skip to the next step; otherwise connect the drives as follows:
• When connecting one drive, plug in the Ultra ATA cable's master (black)
connector to it (Figure 4).
• When connecting two drives, connect the Ultra ATA cable's master
(black) connector to the drive with jumpers set in the master setting; con-
nect the slave (gray) connector to the drive with jumpers confi gured in
the slave setting (Figure 4).
6. Using two Ultra ATA cables, you may connect two, three, or four drives;
connect them as follows:
• When connecting two drives, plug the Ultra ATA cables' master (black)
connectors into the drives (Figure 5).
• When connecting three or four drives, connect the Ultra ATA cables'
master (black) connectors to the drives with jumpers set in the master
setting; connect the slave (gray) connectors to the drives with jumpers set
in the slave setting (Figure 5).
7. Locate the 4-pin power connector plugged into your computer's exist-
ing hard drive. You should fi nd at least one extra power connector near
the existing drive; if you have installed only one new drive, plug the extra
power connector into it. If you have installed more than one new drive,
or there are no additional power connectors, you must use power cable Y-
adapters (sold separately). Verify the connectors are plugged in securely .
8. Remove the Tempo ATA100 card from its packaging.
9. Locate an available PCI slot inside your computer and remove its port
access cover, if present, from the rear of the computer.
10. Install the Tempo card into the PCI slot; make sure the card is fi rmly
seated.
Support Note:
Power Macintosh 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600 and G3
Desktop users must remove the access panel on the main chassis to
route the Ultra ATA cables from the drives to the Tempo card. You may need
tools to perform this procedure. To remove the access panel, first unlock and
tilt up the internal assembly; remember to lower the assembly support stand.
Next, firmly twist the top edge of the panel forward toward the power supply,
then lift the panel out (Figure 6). Save the panel in case you ever need to use
it again.
11. Route the Ultra ATA cable(s) to the Tempo ATA100 card; avoid the proces-
sor's heat sink and make sure the cables will not get crushed or pinched by
any part of the case when the computer is reassembled.
Support Note:
If you disconnect your computer's original internal SCSI
hard disk drive when you install the Tempo ATA100 and one or more
drives, you must terminate the SCSI chain properly; installation of a SCSI
terminator connector may be required. Failure to properly terminate any SCSI
chain may result in system freezes and errors. Consult your computer's user guide
or a qualified technician for more information.
