File Name: tempo_x_esata_4+4_qsg.pdf Document Version: QS-TSATAII-X44-E-A-080508 File Size: 1.7 MB Installation instructions for installing the Sonnet Tempo-X eSATA 4+4 8-Port Serial ATA PCI-X Host Adapter into a supported Mac or Windows computer.
A very small number of Tempo-X SATA 4+4 users have reported a condition in which connected drives installed in an external case intermittently do not appear when their computer is booted.
To address this issue, update the Tempo-X SATA 4+4 card's firmware to version 1.0.1 or later by downloading and running the latest Tempo-X firmware updater.
This condition occurs when the System Preferences Energy Saver Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible checkbox is checked (on), or the Disk Sleep Timer is enabled; the Tempo-X SATA card using firmware version 1.2 does not support disk sleep.
To correct this issue, update the Tempo-X card's firmware to version 2.0 or later. Download and run the installer to add disk sleep support.
