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.
