Tempo SATA X4P and Mac OS X 10.4 requires the final version, 10.4.11 for tested functionality. For example, a RAID 1 set does not function under Mac OS X 10.4.6 in a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver.
When attempting to connect a Sonnet Tempo eSATA locking cable to a Tempo SATA E4P card in an Xserve, the locking connector housing may not fit in the tight space at the rear of the Xserve. To properly connect the cable, simply remove the locking housing from the connector end (two screws) and it will fit.
