Unpacking and Installing the Tape Enclosures Suggested Tape Enclosure Configuration Options Suggested Tape Enclosure Configuration Options Two tape enclosures can be stacked on each other. If two tape enclosures are stacked, the bottom shelf in the bottom enclosure must be left empty. A tape enclosure can be stacked on top of a system enclosure as shown in Figure 2-7. All three shelves can be used in the enclosure.
Tape Enclosure Configuration Hazards Unpacking and Installing the Tape Enclosures Tape Enclosure Configuration Hazards WARNING. Do not stack a system enclosure on a tape enclosure. The server is heavier than the tape enclosure, and stacking it on top of the tape enclosure causes the unit to be unstable as shown in Figure 2-8.

Check that the tape drive power switch is set to 0 (OFF). 2. Connect the power cord to the tape drive power connector, and check that the connector is fully seated. See Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Attaching the Power Cord WARNING.
Connecting the SCSI Cables Installing the 5257 Tape Drive Connecting the SCSI Cables Note. Term Power is not supplied by the tape drive; it must be supplied by the NonStop Himalaya S-series server Bus Adapter card. The tape drive connects to a SCSI bus and supports only the differential alternative. All Himalaya systems should have either the SCSI ports labeled or the international symbols displayed to indicate the electrical configuration for that port. Table 3-1.
Connecting the SCSI Cables to the Server Installing the 5257 Tape Drive 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as applicable. Connecting the SCSI Cables to the Server Connect the free end of the SCSI cable at the server. WARNING. For SCSI cables, be sure that the power to the tape drive is off before connecting to the server.
5257 Troubleshooting Chart Installing the 5257 Tape Drive 5257 Troubleshooting Chart If the 5257 drive fails during POST or operation, use Table 3-3 to determine the problem and the action to take. Table 3-3. Troubleshooting Chart If... Then... You Should... System does not recognize the tape system. System may not be configured to recognize the SCSI ID. Configure your system to recognize the tape drive’s ID. SCSI ID may not be unique. Change the SCSI ID and reconfigure the system.
5257 Troubleshooting Chart Installing the 5257 Tape Drive Table 3-3. Troubleshooting Chart If... Then... You Should... A device may not have been turned on, and a valid SCSI ID may not have been configured prior to the system powering on and loading BIOS. Turn drive power on first; then turn on power to the system so that the drive is properly recognized by the system. The tape drive does not power up. No power is reaching the tape drive.

Table 4-1 describes control and LED functionality. Figure 4-1 provides an illustration.
Operating the 5257 Tape Drive Super DLTtape 1 Tape Cartridge Super DLTtape 1 Tape Cartridge The Super DLTtape 1 tape cartridge is a half-inch cartridge containing 1,833.5 feet of Advance Metal Particle (AMP). With a storage capacity of 110 GB native and up to 220 GB compressed, the cartridge has an archival life of more than 30 years and a durability in excess of 1,000,000 head passes. See Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2.
Cartridge Write-Protect Switch Operating the 5257 Tape Drive Figure 4-3. Tape Cartridge Orange Indicator Write Protect Switch Data Protection Move the cartridge write-protect switch to the left to activate (light) the write-protect LED. If the drive is writing to the tape, write protect does not take effect until the current write operation completes. Table 4-1 describes what happens to data protection when the write-protect switch is moved before loading the cartridge. Table 4-1.
Operating the 5257 Tape Drive Loading a Cartridge Loading a Cartridge 1. Insert the cartridge into the receiver on the front of the tape drive. See Figure 4-4. 2. Push the cartridge completely into the drive receiver. The Drive Status LED blinks to show that the tape is loading. When the tape reaches the BOT marker, the LED light stops blinking, and the tape is ready for use. Figure 4-4. Loading a Tape Cartridge Unloading a Cartridge Caution.
Operating the 5257 Tape Drive Preserving Cartridges Figure 4-5. Unloading a Tape Cartridge Preserving Cartridges For longer life of recorded or unrecorded cartridges, store cartridges in a clean environment with these conditions: • • • • • • • • Protect cartridges from shock, vibration, moisture and magnetic fields. Do not drop or bang the cartridge. This can displace the tape leader, making the cartridge unusable and may damage the drive.
Operating the 5257 Tape Drive • • • • • Preserving Cartridges If the tape cartridge has been exposed to heat or cold extremes, stabilize the cartridge at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed (up to 24 hours). Do not place cartridges near electromagnetic interference sources, such as terminals, motors, and video or x-ray equipment to protect data. Store tape cartridges in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is between 20 percent and 80 percent.
