We recommend that you make a backup of important
information on your system's current hard drive prior to installing new
hardware or software.
When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent components
from being damaged by static electricity. Before opening your computer or
removing parts from their packages, always ground yourself first by touching
a metal part of the computer, such as a port access cover, and work in an area
free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all electronic components
only by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

If you are installing the enclosed Tempo ATA133 card into a
system running Mac OS X Version 10.0–10.1.5, you MUST update the
