 Support Notes:

 We recommend you make a backup of important 

information 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. 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 the Tempo RAID133 only by its 
edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins on PCI cards, 
hard drives, and other electronic devices.
