Quick Start Guide for Tempo SATA E4P

About Tempo SATA E4P’s Ports and LEDs

1. Each eSATA connector on the Tempo card is assigned a channel

number that may be helpful if you need to diagnose any issues

(Figure 11). Depending on the drive enclosure you use (with or

without port multiplier), each channel can support from one to ﬁve

drives.

2. When drives connected to the Tempo card are powered and active,

the status LEDs on the card will light (Figure 12):

• Green LED ON: Drive(s) present and ready.

• Amber LED ON/Flashing: Drive(s) reading/writing data.

Additional information for Mac Users

When drive enclosures with port multipliers are connected to Tempo

SATA E4P, you can identify individual drives within those enclosures

in Disk Utility (Figure 13, top). In the Connection ID ﬁeld, “Channel”

indicates the channel (as well as the connector) on the Tempo card,

while “Port” identiﬁes the drive in the enclosure.

When drive enclosures without port multipliers are connected, a simple

drive-to-card signal path exists. In the Connection ID ﬁeld in Disk

Utility, “Channel” indicates the channel (as well as the connector) on

the Tempo card and the drive in the enclosure (Figure 13, bottom).
