Installation and user’s guide This guide contains product description, hardware and software installation instructions, and product use. Product description The IBM 100/200 GB1 HH LTO Internal Tape Drive is a fast/wide Ultra2 (low voltage differential) SCSI 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.
Installation requirements To install this drive, you must have the following: v A dedicated low voltage differential (Ultra2) or a single-ended (SE)2 SCSI host adaptor v Documentation for your computer, SCSI bus adapter, or external enclosure v An Ultra2 LVD active terminator if you are installing the tape drive at the end of an Ultra2 LVD SCSI device chain3, or an SE active terminator if you are installing the tape drive at the end of an SE SCSI device chain v Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers for the m
v For many IBM computers, press F1 during the startup after the memory check completes. Other adapters show SCSI settings when you press Ctrl A. Check the documentation that comes with your computer or SCSI adapter for information on how to view configuration information. v Use SCSI adapter utility programs, if available. v Inspect the installed SCSI devices to see how the jumpers that determine the IDs are set. Step 2. Preparing for installation To prepare for installation: 1.
1 SCSI connector 2 SCSI ID connector 3 Power connector Note: 1. When setting the SCSI ID, use the jumpers that come with the tape drive. 2. If your enclosure uses a remote SCSI ID switch, remove the jumpers from the jumper pins on the tape drive and connect the remote switch. 1. Set the SCSI ID. a. Locate the SCSI ID connector 2 . b. Decide on the SCSI ID number you want before you attach the SCSI bus cable to the host. Make sure that the ID number you want is not already being used by another device.
Step 5. Attaching cables To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive: 1. Locate the SCSI cable on your computer (a 68-pin 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.
2. Replace the computer cover and secure it in place. Reconnect the power cords and cables. Step 7. Turning on the device Turn on all attached devices; then turn on your computer. The tape drive performs a power-on self-test (POST) within 15 seconds and then performs a drive reset. Step 8. Updating the configuration For most computers, the configuration-setup utility program automatically recognizes the new tape drive.
Front Panel LEDs The following table describes the LED (light emitting diode) indicators on the drive front panel.
Unloading tape cartridges To unload a tape cartridge, perform the following steps. 1. Make sure that the 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive is turned on. 2. Press the Unload button. The drive rewinds the tape and places the tape cartridge in the unload position. The status light will flash green while the tape rewinds, and then turn off when the cartridge is ejected from the drive. 3. After the tape cartridge has been ejected, grasp the cartridge and remove it.
Setting write protection on the cartridge The front of the cartridge has an orange write-protect switch 1 to prevent accidental erasure. Slide the switch to the right to write-protect 2 or to the left to enable writing. 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, insert a paper clip into the emergency reset button on the front of the device, or turn the computer off and back on again.

Appendix B. Tape handling This section describes how to properly handle your tape cartridges to reduce wear on the 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive. Tape handling and storage Most tapes are supplied in sealed cartridges. Tapes are provided this way so that the tape will remain in a clean environment. Opening the cartridge enables dirt and airborne particles to enter and contaminate the cartridge. The cartridge must only be opened by the tape drive and not by an operator.

Appendix D. Troubleshooting The first step in problem solving is establishing whether the problem lies with the cartridge, the drive, the host computer and its connections, the backup software or with the way the system is being operated. If none of the following advice helps you solve the problem, contact your supplier.
The drive does not work Possible reason Recommended action If the drive does not turn on, the power cable might not be connected to the drive correctly. Make sure that the power cable is firmly connected. Try another power cable. If the power supply is present and all LEDs remain off, try the reset button to power cycle the drive. If this fails, call for assistance. If the self-test fails, there might be a hardware or firmware failure. If there is a cartridge in the drive, remove it.
Symptom Action The Drive Error LED is flashing. The drive mechanism has detected an error. Power cycle or reset the drive. If the condition clears, load a new tape. If the Drive Error LED remains on, call for service. The Tape Error LED is flashing. Unload the tape cartridge. Load a new cartridge. If the Tape Error LED is now off, discard the ‘suspect’ tape cartridge. If it is still on, call for service.
