DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Cleaning notes The read/write heads of the DAT drive must be cleaned regularly to ensure that no errors occur during data processing. ! ● Do not carry out preventative cleaning. ● Wait until the drive requests cleaning: ● The drive should be cleaned immediately following the request. ● Never use an audio cleaning cartridge. Use only cleaning cartridges designed for a DAT 72 drive.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE i If, after cleaning, the CLEAN indicator and/or MEDIA indicator begin flashing again immediately, then the data cartridge used is probably defective. In this case, you should copy the data to a new cartridge and stop using the old cartridge. Cleaning cartridges with a length of 60 m may not be used or are not supported. i Cleaning cartridges may be subject to variations in quality. This can lead to restrictions in maximum use.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Notes on working with magnetic tape cartridges Although magnetic tape cartridges do not require any special maintenance, some basic rules should be followed: ! General • • • • • The cartridges must be kept out of direct sunlight. The cartridges are not to be placed near magnetic fields. Avoid heavy mechanical loading. Do not insert damaged magnetic tape cartridges in the drive. Failure to observe this warning may lead to the warranty for the drive being voided.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Installing a DAT drive The following steps must be performed to install the DAT drive: • • • Mounting the DAT drive Connecting the DAT drive Installing the software required (e. g. SCSI drivers and backup software) i Current drivers, Firmware and Tools are on ● the TapeSupport CD ● on the Internet www.fujitsu-siemens.com. ● on the Internet ftp://ftp.fujitsu-siemens.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE 2 1 ► Plug the 68-pin plug into the SCSI interface (1). The DAT drive automatically adjusts to LVD or SE. ► Plug the 4-pin power supply plug into the power supply socket of the DAT drive (2). Installing 3 1/4 inch version (hot-swap) The 3 1/2 inch version of the DAT drive is intended for PRIMERGY servers and PRIMERGY subsystems in which a magnetic tape drive is to installed during operation (hot-swap).
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE 1 ► Release the locking mechanism by pressing the locking button (1). ► Swing the drive handle completely in the direction of the arrow. ► Install the DAT drive as described in "Hot-plug/hot-swap components" in the operating manual of the PRIMERGY server. ► Swing the drive handle down again.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 or LINUX SLES 8.x: ► Install the operating system. ► Check the firmware and drivers for the SCSI/RAID controller. ► Install the DAT drive. ► Select Scan for Hardware Changes in the Device Manager (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003) to detect the DAT drive. With LINUX, proceed as described in the section "Installing or replacing a drive in a LINUX server". ► Install the necessary tape drivers.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Using NT-Backup ► Check whether the tape is installed in the Device Manager. ► Check whether the removable storage-medium service is operating. ► Reboot your server (only under Windows 2000). The tape is now ready for operation. Using CA ARCserve 2000/BrightStore 9 ► Stop and then restart all ARCserve/BrightStore job engines. This enables the application to add a new drive to its device configuration.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE ! Never remove a drive during tape operation or data transfer. ► Make sure that the drive to be replaced is inactive and remove any storage medium from the drive. ► Deactivate the device in the Device Manager (Windows 2000, Server 2003). ► Pull out the DAT drive by the handle.
DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE Installing or eplacing a drive in a PRIMERGY server (under LINUX) Proceed as follows to install or replace a drive in a LINUX server. i The following procedure requires you to have root privileges. Installing a hot-swap drive ► Mount the DAT drive and lock it with the handle. ► Wait at least 30 seconds.
