Support Note:
Power Macintosh 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600 and G3
Desktop users must remove the access panel on the main chassis
to
route the Serial ATA data cables from the drives to the Tempo card. You may need
tools to perform this procedure. To remove the access panel, first unlock and tilt
up the internal assembly; remember to lower the assembly support stand. Next,
firmly twist the top edge of the panel forward toward the power supply, then lift
the panel out
(Figure 3)
. Save the panel in case you ever need to use it again.
Support Note:
If you disconnect your computer’s original internal SCSI
hard disk drive when you install the Tempo Serial ATA and one or more
drives,
you must terminate the SCSI chain properly; installation of a SCSI
terminator connector may be required
. Failure to properly terminate any SCSI
chain may result in system freezes and errors. Consult your computer’s user guide
or a qualified technician for more information.
WARNING:
Hard drives attached to the Tempo Serial ATA will not
mount (appear on the desktop) until they have been formatted; this
includes drives with data on them, previously used in other computers. Please
be aware that
formatting a drive erases any data present
.
