| Can I hot-swap a disk drive that is attached to any Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card? | Mar-23-10 |
| Yes, but it depends on the computer's operating system (Mac OS or Windows). Sonnet Tempo SATA PCIe, PCI-X, PCI, and ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping only when used in Mac computers running Mac OS. SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003, or Vista. A SATA drive appears to Windows as a fixed hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal except in notebook computers.
Tempo SATA and SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping in both Mac and Windows notebook computers. |

| Drive(s) connected to the Tempo-X SATA 4+4 occasionally do not appear when the computer is booted or an error message regarding the RAID array connected to the Tempo-X SATA 4+4 is occasionally displayed at boot up, and the RAID array cannot be used. | May-07-09 |

| With a Tempo-X SATA host controller installed and drives connected, the computer locks up and will not respond to keyboard or mouse input, and must be forced to power off (press and hold the power button for more than 5 seconds) then restarted. | May-07-09 |
| 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. |

| Multiple Hitachi hard drives connected to a Tempo-X SATA host controller are not always detected (won't mount). | May-07-09 |
| Affects: Hitachi 7K80, some T7K250, and 7K500 SATA hard drives switched to operate at 3.0 Gb/s when used with a Tempo-X SATA 4+4, Tempo-X eSATA 4+4, or Tempo-X eSATA 8 host controller card using the Marvell 88SX5081 chip.
This condition occurs when the listed Hitachi drives were first connected to a PC and switched to the 3.0 Gb/s data transfer setting using Hitachi's Feature Tool software; these drives originally shipped with the 1.5 Gb/s setting enabled. When connected to Tempo-X cards using the Marvell 88SX5081 chip (which supports 1.5 Gb/s transfers) the drives are not detected properly. Because these particular Tempo-X cards only support 1.5 Gb/s transfers, there is no benefit to switching the drives to the 3.0 Gb/s transfer setting. If you are unsure which Marvell chip is used on your Tempo-X card, you may check your Macintosh System Profile; when you select the installed Serial ATA card, the Device ID will show either "0x6081" or "0x5081".
Note: This DOES NOT affect the Hitachi 7K250 or 7K400 models that do not have the ability to support 3.0 Gb/s transfer nor does it affect Tempo-X eSATA 4+4 and Tempo-X eSATA 8 cards using the Marvell 88SX6081 chip.
To correct this issue, switch the drives back to the original 1.5 Gb/s setting using Hitachi's Feature Tool software. |
