Installation Preparation

Prior to installing the Tempo SATA X4P into your system and 
connecting any drive enclosures, you should familiarize yourself with 
the parts to be installed. We also strongly recommend that you read 
the sections in your computer’s user manual that address PCI card 
installation.
