2. Installing the Sled-Mounted DLT2000XT Tape Drive

This chapter tells you how to conﬁgure and install your sled-mounted DLT2000XT tape

drive in a host or a vault mass storage system. It includes instructions on

• checking your shipment

• checking and setting the drive’s SCSI ID

• inserting the sled-mounted DLT2000XT tape drive

• conﬁguring the host system to recognize the DLT2000XT tape drive

• installing the SCSI patch

If you need help with basic troubleshooting or maintenance procedures, go to Chapter 6,

“Troubleshooting and Maintenance.” To set up your system’s DLT2000XT tape drive as

a network resource, refer to IRIX Admin: Peripheral Devices and the IRIX NetWorker

guides (IRIX NetWorker Administrator’s Guide and NetWorker for IRIX User’s Guide).

Checking Your Shipment

The sled-mounted DLT2000XT tape drive is shipped in a single box. Inside, you should

ﬁnd the DLT2000XT tape drive (already mounted to the adapter board and sled), a data

cartridge, a cleaning cartridge, a SCSI patch CD, and this guide.

After you unpack your DLT2000XT tape drive and its parts, make sure you have all the

pieces shown in Figure 2-1. All cables should already be attached, but you should

visually conﬁrm this before installing the unit.
