10 Important notes! In this chapter you will find information regarding safety which is essential to take note of with your drive. Safety This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment, including electronic office machines for use in an office environment. If you have any questions, contact your sales outlet or our customer service center. This device has been developed for use in approved systems with a fire-proof casing (in accordance with IEC 950 / EN 60950). Note the power loss and the notes on environmental conditions in the "Important notes" chapter of the system unit's Operating Manual. Manufacturer's note CE certificate The shipped version of this drive complies with the requirements of the EC Guideline 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility". Compliance was tested in a typical system configuration. When installing the drive, observe the specific installation notes in the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of the receiving device. Installation! Please note the information provided in the chapter "Important notes" in the Operating Manual of the system unit or in the manual "Safety, Guarantee and Ergonomics". The following steps must be performed to install the drive: Setting the jumpers (e. g. SCSI address, parity) Mounting the drive Connecting the drive Installing the software required (drivers, backup program) i The drivers required for operating SCSI drives are either part of the operating system or are provided with the backup software. 2 - English A26361-H583-Z

11 Setting the jumpers There is a jumper block on the back of the drive with 16 jumpers. These default settings depend on the relevant system configuration. OUT IN TEST CONN PAR SELECT NC (Not connected) TPWR TESTGND GND PWR! The OUT, IN and TEST CONN jumpers are reserved and may not be changed. Parity checking (PAR) The drive supports the SCSI bus parity check function. Jumper PAR = Parity check enabled Jumper PAR = Parity check disabled A26361-H583-Z English - 3

12 SCSI address (SELECT) Every device on the SCSI bus must have its own SCSI address (ID). The SCSI address for the drive is set using the SELECT jumpers (0, 1, 2 and 3). By default, SCSI address 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller. SELECT 0 SELECT 1 SELECT 2 SELECT 3 SCSI address Termination/terminating resistor The last device at both ends of the SCSI bus must be equipped with a terminating resistor. Devices that are not connected to the end of the SCSI bus must not be terminated. If you run the SLR drive as the last device on the SCSI bus, you must connect an active wide SCSI terminating resistor to the SCSI interface of the drive. The active wide SCSI terminating resistor can either already have been integrated in the SCSI cable or be connected as a separate connector. i The drive has no integrated terminating resistor. Terminator Power (TPWR) The TPWR jumper sets the power supply for the terminating resistors on the SCSI bus. The terminating resistors can be provided with power by the drive or the SCSI bus. TPWR jumper = power supply from drive TPWR jumper = power supply from SCSI bus 4 - English A26361-H583-Z

13 Mounting the drive The drive requires a 5 ¼ inch "half-height" slot. It can be installed horizontally or vertically.! When mounting the drive, ensure that the ventilation slits on the drive are kept free. Ê Install the drive as described in "Installing a disk drive" in the Technical Manual or in the Operating Manual of the system unit. Connecting the drive = Power supply connector 2 = Wide SCSI interface Ê Plug the power supply cable (4-pin) into the power supply socket of the drive (1). Ê Plug the Wide SCSI cable (68-pin) into the Wide SCSI interface of the drive (2). A26361-H583-Z English - 5

14 Operation = Eject button 2 = "Fault" indicator 3 = "Activity" indicator 4 = "Ready" indicator 6 - English A26361-H583-Z

15 Meaning of the indicators When the system unit is switched on, the drive carries out a self-test. The indicators are illuminated or flash during this test. During operation, the indicators have the following meaning: Drive state Ready (green) Activity (green) Fault (amber) Cartridge/tape not loaded OFF OFF OFF Cartridge/tape not loaded, cleaning required OFF OFF ON Tape loaded, no tape movement ON OFF OFF Tape loaded, tape movement ON Flashing OFF Tape loaded, no tape movement, cleaning required Tape loaded, tape movement, cleaning required Tape loading or unloading, or cartridge unloading Tape loading or unloading, or cartridge unloading, cleaning required ON OFF ON ON Flashing ON ON Flashing OFF ON Flashing ON Cleaning OFF Flashing ON Unrecoverable drive failure, cartridge failure or MICROCODE DOWNLOAD failure OFF OFF Flashing i The "Fault" indicator flashing is indicating a hardware failure. The drive is not ready for use. In this instance, please contact our customer service center. The "Fault" indicator steady ON indicates that a head cleaning operation is recommended ( see section "Cleaning"). The drive is still fully operational. The "Fault" indicator is reset by operating the cleaning cartridge in the drive. A26361-H583-Z English - 7

16 Handling magnetic tape cartridges The maximum capacity of 50/100 Gbyte is reached, for example, when a cartridge of the type "SLR100" is used. The following table shows the possible uses of other cartridge types in various drives (w = write, r = read.) The recording density is automatically adjusted by the drive.

17 i Magnetic tape cartridges and cleaner cartridges (dry cleaning) for the drive can be ordered directly from: Siemens Plus Sales Office Telephone: Germany , Fax: or via Internet Although magnetic tape cartridges do not require any special maintenance, some basic rules should be followed:! The cartridges must never be stored in high temperatures. The cartridges are not to be stored or operated in high-humidity and in dusty environments. The cartridges must be kept out of direct sunlight. The cartridges are not to be placed near magnetic fields. Do not turn off the system or remove the cartridge from the streamer when the tape drive is reading from or writing to the cartridge. Always leave the protective cover over the opening for the write/read head. Never touch the magnetic tape. Always observe the conditions for storing archiving cartridges (see the chapter "Technical data"). Always keep the cartridges in the protective covers provided. New cartridges should be acclimatized to the ambient temperature up to four hours prior to use. As a rule, new cartridges should be wound forward once to the end of the tape and rewound to the beginning, and the drive then cleaned using a cleaning cartridge (see the chapter "Cleaning".) Inserting a tape cartridge! When inserting the tape cartridge, ensure that the label side is facing up. The side on which the magnetic tape is visible must be on the right. Ê Slide the cartridge slowly into the drive until the autoload mechanism starts pulling the cartridge in. Once initialization has been completed, the "Ready" indicator is illuminated. Removing a tape cartridge Ê Push the eject button. The ongoing command is terminated and buffered data will be written to the tape. Depending on the application, the cartridge will be rewound. This may take up to three minutes. The cartridge will then be ejected from the unloading mechanism. Ê Remove the tape cartridge from the drive.! The eject button can be locked using an SCSI command (Prevent Media Removal). If a magnetic tape cartridge cannot be removed from the drive in the way described, and the eject button is not locked, please contact our customer service center. A26361-H583-Z English - 9

18 Using write protection Write protection should be enabled whenever you wish to protect the tape from accidental overwriting or deletion. When the tape cartridge is write-protected, the system can read data, but can neither overwrite nor delete data. The write protection facility consists of a screw with an arrow. If you turn the screw by means of a screwdriver, the write protection is enabled or disabled. If the arrow points to this symbol, the cartridge is not write-protected. If the arrow points to this symbol, the cartridge is write-protected. Cleaning To guarantee error-free data processing, cleaning of the write/read heads is requested by the drive via the "Fault" indicator on a regular basis after approximately 50 hours of tape operation. The cleaning prompt may also be made sooner if the write/read heads are particularly soiled.! Only use cleaning cartridges (dry cleaning) of the type "TDS DPCC 6000" (for where to order, see the section "Handling magnetic tape cartridges"). Do not carry out wet cleaning! 10 - English A26361-H583-Z
