Chapter 1 Introduction This document describes the HP DDS-3 drive (HP model number C1537A), its installation, operation, troubleshooting, and removal/replacement procedures.
Introduction General Description The HP DDS-format drives have been developed by Hewlett Packard for data storage drives that build on DAT technology. The DDS-3 drive has 12-GB native capacity and 24–GB compressed capacity. The DDS–3 drive is compatible with all DDS–1 and DDS–2 drive formats. Figure 1–1 shows the DDS-3 drive. Figure 1–1.
Introduction DDS-3 Drive Environmental Requirements The DDS-3 drive has the following environmental requirements: • Ambient Temperature Operating Non-Operating • • Humidity Operating Non-Operating 5_ C to 40_ C (41_ F to 104_ F) –40_ C to 70_ C (–40_ F to 158_ F) 20% to 80%RH (non-condensing) 5% to 95%RH Maximum wet bulb temperature = 26_ C Vibration Operating (3 axes for drives, 1 axis for autoloaders) Swept Sine 0.3 g peak, 5–500 Hz @ 1 octave/min Random 5–350 Hz @ 0.

Figure 1–2.
Introduction Preparing to Install a New DDS-3 Drive The following information describes how to prepare the DDS-3 drive for installation. Tools Required The following tools are needed to install the DDS-3 drive: • #2 Phillips screwdriver • Small needlenose pliers • T10 torx wrench Verifying Kit Contents Verify that the kit contains one of each of the following: • DDS-3 drive (part number 0950–2650) and bezel.
Introduction Setting the SCSI-2 Address The DDS-3 drive must have a unique SCSI-2 target address. The DDS-3 drive jumpers are set at the factory to the SCSI-2 default address of 3, as shown in Figure 1–3. We recommend that you keep the default address, if possible. You must also ensure that the Operation Mode jumpers are set for correct drive operation, as shown in Figure 1–4. We ship the drive with the Operation Mode jumpers set to operate correctly with your system.
Introduction 3. If you need to change the Operation Mode switches, locate the switches on the underside of the DDS-3 tape drive. Switches 1 and 2 are used to configure the data compression operation mode. Switches 3 through 8 are used to specify drive connectivity and functionality according to host or customer requirements. The default setting is all switches ON. Address Jumpers To set the drive’s address, use the SCSI-2 address jumpers, and perform the following steps: 1.

Introduction Preparing the System Perform the following steps to prepare the system for the DDS-3 drive installation: 1. Determine the existing SCSI-2 address settings currently in use on your system by completing the following steps. 2. Enter the following at the prompt: /usr/sbin/ioscan RETURN After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O devices it could find.

If you are running HP-UX under HP VUE, shut down your system according to the shutdown procedure described in the owner’s guide that came with your workstation.
Introduction If you do not already have a SCSI terminator, you must order either terminator K2291 (bale-lock style) or terminator C2904A (thumbscrew style). NOTICE: Use care when inserting and removing feed-through terminators to avoid damaging the end walls of the terminator and the drive. Powering Off the Workstation and Any Peripherals To power off the workstation and any peripherals, perform the following steps: 1. Power off the workstation, using the power switch on the front of the workstation.
Introduction Adding or Removing the DDS-3 Drive Bezels or Expansion Brackets Depending on the size of the drive opening in your system, you may need to add or remove a bezel or expansion brackets to ensure that your DDS-3 drive fits in your system.
Introduction To remove a bezel from a drive, use a straight blade screwdriver to lift the bezel tabs from the top of the drive, and push in the tabs at the sides of the drive. Refer to Figure 1–6. Figure 1–6. Removing a Bezel from the DDS-3 Drive To add expansion brackets to the drive or to remove them, use a T10 torx wrench to either tighten or remove the four torx screws that hold each expansion bracket to the drive. Refer to Figure 1–7.
Introduction Figure 1–7. Adding or Removing Expansion Brackets You are now ready to begin the hardware installation of your DDS-3 drive. The step-by-step instructions for installing the drive are found in the owner’s guide that came with your workstation.
Chapter 2 Using the DDS-3 Drive This chapter provides the following information on using your DDS-3 drive: • DDS-3 drive configuration • Controls and features of the DDS-3 drive • Using the DDS-3 drive To verify HP-UX system operation, see the owner’s guide that came with your workstation. For more information on checking or reconfiguring the kernel for a device driver or file, see System Administration Tasks Manual: HP 9000 Series 700 Computers.
Using Your DDS Drive Your DDS-3 Drive Configuration Your HP-UX operating system comes with preconfigured device files and drivers. If you use these preconfigured device files and drivers, you won’t need to configure your DDS-3 drive with the operating system. To find out more about creating and using device files, see the owner’s guide that came with your system.
Using Your DDS Drive LEDs The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Tape Light and the Clean/Attention Light. The Tape Light flashes green to show activity (loading, unloading, reading, and writing). Steady green means a cartridge is loaded. The Clean/Attention Light flashes amber to indicate head cleaning is needed or a cartridge is near the end of its life. Steady amber means a hard fault. Table 2–1.
Using Your DDS Drive • • • The relative humidity in your operating environment is consistently less than 50%. You know that the backup software you are using makes multiple passes over sections of the tape during backups or restores. You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts frequently. Cleaning the Tape Heads Clean the heads of your tape drive after every 25 hours of tape drive use or if the Media Wear (Caution) signal is displayed on the LED.
Using Your DDS Drive Figure 2–2. Setting the Write-Protect Tab on a DDS Tape To protect information on a data cassette from being overwritten, set the write-protect tab to the write-protect position, as shown in Figure 2–2. NOTICE: The write-protect tab should always be in the write position for transferring data to a cassette.
Using Your DDS Drive Using the DDS-3 Drive This section describes how to perform tasks with your DDS-3 tape drive. Loading and Unloading a Data Cassette Follow these steps to load and unload a data cassette from the DDS-3 tape drive: 1. Insert the data cassette into the drive, as shown in Figure 2–3. Eject Button Figure 2–3.
Using Your DDS Drive 2. Push the data cassette about three quarters of an inch into the drive. The drive automatically pulls the data cassette the rest of the way in. When the Tape LED on the left front of the drive stops flashing, the drive has loaded the data cassette. 3. To remove the data cassette, press and release the eject button on the front of the drive, as shown in Figure 2–3. The Tape LED on the drive flashes on and off.
Using Your DDS Drive Refer to Tables 2–2 and 2–3 for information on which tapes you can use with each of HP’s DDS drives. Table 2–2.
