Part 1: Installation, use, and maintenance guide This guide contains product description, hardware and software installation instructions, and product use and maintenance information. For information on solving problems, see Appendix D, “Problem solving” on page 2-4. Product description The 40/80 GB1 DLT Internal Tape Drive is a fast/wide Ultra-2 (low voltage differential) tape drive for backing up and restoring data and archiving files.
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/solutions/accessories/tapedrives.html and follow the software links. The CDs also contain backup applications that are used with other products but are not applicable to the 40/80 GB DLT Internal Tape Drive. Supported tape drive configurations can be found on the IBM Netfinity Server Compatibility Web page at http://www.ibm.
Installing the drive in IBM servers The tape drive is compatible with the Netfinity 8500 or 8500R4, Netfinity 70008, Netfinity 5500, and Netfinity 5000 servers. For instructions on installing the tape drive in a server, go to the “Installing Internal Drives” section in the server’s User’s Handbook and follow the directions for “Installing a 5.25-inch Removable-Media Drive.” Note: The server User’s Handbook instructions refer specifically to installing a half-high drive in a single bay in the server.
Installing the drive in other computers Follow these steps to install the tape drive in other computers. Step 1. Selecting a SCSI ID Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. You can select a SCSI ID from 0 to 6 for the tape drive. The SCSI ID must be supported by your SCSI adapter. Refer to your SCSI adapter documentation for the range and the relative priority of the IDs supported. The tape drive is shipped with the SCSI ID preset to 5.
Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID, termination, and parity Use the following illustration to locate the SCSI configuration jumper blocks. Front Bezel SCSI ID Connector Block A jumper must always be placed across Pin Pair 9 / 10 if any SCSI ID other than the default (5) is selected. Pin Pair 1 / 2 If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, the bus must be terminated at the drive. Some SCSI cables provide self termination and do not require terminators.
If you choose the default SCSI address of 5, proceed to Step 4. If you need to change the SCSI address, use the SCSI ID jumper block to set your SCSI ID. Remove and reposition jumpers to set the ID. If necessary, use a pair of flat-nose pliers to remove the jumpers. The following illustration shows how to set the jumper block for each ID. Use the jumpers that come with your tape drive. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Step 4.
To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive: 1. Locate the SCSI cable on your computer (a 68-pin (wide) ribbon cable with one end connected to the SCSI adapter) and find the next available connector that is farthest from the adapter. Use all empty bus connectors beginning with the one farthest from the adapter to ensure better signal quality. Note: The SCSI adapter might be part of the computer system board or might be an adapter installed in an expansion slot. 2.
If all the indicators on either side of the tape drive blink in unison, there is a problem with the tape drive. Press the Unload button on the right side of the drive front panel to eject any tape that might be inserted and to reset the drive. If the problem persists, turn off the computer; then turn it back on. If the problem continues, see Appendix D, “Problem solving” on page 2-4 for further steps. Step 9.
Understanding the status indicators The indicators on the right side of the drive front panel are: .1/ Write Protect (orange): When this indicator is on, the tape is write protected. .2/ Tape in Use (yellow): When this indicator is blinking, the tape is in motion. When this indicator lights steadily, the tape is loaded and ready for use. .3/ Use Cleaning Tape (yellow): When this indicator is on, the drive head needs cleaning or the tape is damaged.
.12/ 20.0 (yellow): When this indicator lights steadily, the tape is recorded at 20.0 GB capacity. When this light is blinking, it indicates that you requested this capacity. .13/ 10.0/15.0 (yellow): When this indicator lights steadily, the tape is recorded at 10.0 GB or 15.0 GB capacity. When this indicator is blinking, it indicates you requested this capacity. If the indicators flash in unison, it indicates a tape drive hardware failure.
The ambient operating temperature for the tape cartridge is 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) and the ambient operating relative humidity (noncondensing) is 20% to 80%. If storage or transportation of a tape cartridge has exposed it to conditions outside these ambient values, allow the tape cartridge to acclimate to proper operating conditions for a 24-hour period before using. Place labels only in the front slide slot of the cartridge.
The front of the cartridge has an orange write-protect indicator .1/, and a write-protect switch .2/ to prevent accidental erasure. Slide the switch to the right to write-enable .3/ or to the left to write-protect.4/. You can change the write-protect switch before or after inserting the tape. If you change the write-protect switch while the tape is inserted, there is a delay of a few seconds before the Write Protect indicator on the tape drive changes.
.5/ Press the Unload button and wait for the green Operate Handle indicator to light. .6/ Lift the Cartridge Insert/Release handle up to pop the tape cartridge out. .7/ Remove the tape cartridge from the drive. .8/ Push the Cartridge Insert/Release handle down.
Resetting the drive The reset procedure rewinds the tape and clears the buffer of previous tape drive commands and data. To reset the tape drive, press the Unload button, or turn the computer off and back on again. If you reset the tape drive while a cartridge is loaded, the tape rewinds to the beginning. The reset might take as long as two minutes if the tape is positioned near the end. After the drive has been reset, tape operation starts from the beginning of the data cartridge.
Installation, use and maintenance guide (Translate) This guide contains product description, hardware and software installation instructions, and product use and maintenance information. Product description The 40/80 GB5 DLT Internal Tape Drive is a fast/wide Ultra-2 (low voltage differential) tape drive for backing up and restoring data and archiving files. These files can include multimedia, imaging, transaction processing, large databases, and other storage-intensive applications.
The CDs also contain backup applications that are used with other products but are not applicable to the 40/80 GB DLT Internal Tape Drive. Supported tape drive configurations can be found on the IBM Netfinity Server Compatibility Web page at http://www.ibm.

Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID, termination, and parity Use the following illustration to locate the SCSI configuration jumper blocks. Front Bezel Jumper on Pin Pair 3 / 4 enables termination power (TERM PWR). If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, the bus must be terminated at the drive. Some SCSI cables provide self termination and do not require terminators. To terminate the bus at the drive, attach a SCSI terminator (not provided) to the drive connector before attaching the SCSI cable.
If you choose the default SCSI address of 5, proceed to Step 4. If you need to change the SCSI address, use the SCSI ID jumper block to set your SCSI ID. Remove and reposition jumpers to set the ID.

Problem solving Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error.
Tape drive failures are often caused by contamination in the tape path or by using poor quality media. IBM has very high quality standards for its storage tape and prices it accordingly. To be able to support tape products, IBM needs to constantly test and evaluate. However, IBM does not test and evaluate non-IBM products on an ongoing basis. IBM cannot support any product it does not test. IBM can only support tapes sold by IBM.
