System Requirements

Installation Preparation:

Prior to installing the Tempo RAID66 and hard drives into your system, you
should familiarize yourself with the parts you will install in your system.
. Support Note:
We recommend you make a backup of important infor-
mation on your system's current hard drive(s) prior to installing new
hardware or software. When handling computer products, you must take care to
prevent components from being damaged by static electricity. Always ground
yourself by touching a metal part of the computer such as the power supply's
metal case, and work in an area free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas.
Handle the Tempo RAID66 only by its edges, and avoid touching connector
traces and component pins on PCI cards, hard drives, and other IDE devices.
1. Identify the connectors on one of the included ATA/66 cables as shown in
Figure 1; the host connector plugs into the Tempo RAID66 controller card,
while the master and slave connectors plug into the hard drives.
