Before Using the Tempo SATA edge ExpressCard/34
Prior to connecting a drive enclosure and inserting the Tempo SATA
edge ExpressCard/34 into your computer, familiarize yourself with
the parts. We also recommend that you read the section in your
computer’s user manual that addresses ExpressCard use.
Figure 1 shows the Tempo card’s eSATA port. A data cable with
eSATA connectors is required for use with the Tempo card and drive
enclosures. Bare SATA drives and some old drive enclosures use SATA I
connectors; use of these devices with the Tempo card requires a cable
with a SATA I connector at one end. Figure 2 shows both eSATA and
SATA I connectors.
Support Note: Mac users may use the software on the
included Installer CD, but it may not be the latest version
available. Before using this product, check the version number of the
software on the CD and what’s available at www.sonnettech.com/
support/ and install the newer version, if available. Windows users must
have an active Internet connection in order to download and install the
drivers for the Tempo card.
