Quick Start Guide for Tempo RAID133
8. Move DIP switch 2 on the Tempo RAID133 to ON to select the
striping mode (Figure 15).
9. If you removed the card to move the DIP switches, verify the
card is seated fi rmly in the slot.
10. Recheck the cable connections; make sure all cables are properly
connected to the Tempo RAID133 and the hard drives.
11. Close the computer and carefully replace its case cover; be very
careful not to crimp the cables.
12. Turn on your computer. During the boot process, the informa-
tion window stating “You have inserted a disk containing no
volumes that Mac OS X can read” may appear. If this is the case,
click the Initialize… button to launch Disk Utility.
13. If it is not already open, launch Disk Utility again (Figure 16).
Note that each pair of drives connected to the Tempo RAID133
now appear as single volumes.
14. Select the fi rst volume you will format (as a RAID volume) by
single-clicking the drive symbol (Figure 16).
15. Click the Partition button (Figure 17). When the Partition win-
dow appears, click on the drop-down menu beneath “Volume
Scheme:” and select a number of partitions for the volume; you
may optionally choose to partition each RAID volume to create
two or more smaller “virtual” drives to store and retrieve data
faster and more effi ciently.
16. Type a name for your RAID volume in the Name fi eld
(Figure 17). Make sure that the “Install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers”
option is checked, and then click the Partition button at the bot-
tom of the window.
