DLT-V4 Tape Drive Overview The DLT-V4 tape drive is a value-priced, high-reliability, high-capacity linear streaming data cartridge tape drive designed for use on entry- to mid-range computing platforms. With a combination of data compression and compaction, the DLT-V4 tape drive offers a formatted data cartridge capacity of 320 gigabytes (GB) (assuming a 2:1 compression ratio), and a sustained user data transfer rate of 20 megabytes (MB)/sec (assuming a 2:1 compression ratio). The DLT-V4 tape drive is a 5¼-inch, half-height form-factor device that uses ½-inch tape. Its design includes a four-channel read/write head, Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high-efficiency data compression, and a tape-mark directory to achieve fast data throughput and data access times. 1 DLT-V4 Product Manual 1 Chapter 1 Introduction Features and Upgrades Features and Upgrades This section covers the DLT-V4 tape drive features, and information about obtaining drivers and firmware upgrades. 1 Features 1 The DLT-V4 tape drive offers the following features: · Supported formats: DLT-V4 (read/write using DLTtape® VS1 Media data cartridges), DLT VS160 (read only using DLTtape VS1 Media data cartridges), DLT1/VS80 (read only using DLTtape IV data cartridges). Uses DLTtape VS1 data cartridge. 5¼-inch half-height form-factor. Formatted data cartridge capacity of 160 GB native, 320 GB compressed.* Sustained user data transfer rate of 10 MB/s native, up to 20 MB/s with compression*. For the SCSI interface tape drive, to achieve 160 MB/s, an Ultra160, or Ultra320, Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended (SE) Wide SCSI bus is required. For the SATA interface tape drive, a SATA interface card is required. * In accordance with industry practice, a typical compression ratio of 2:1 is quoted. The redundancy and type of data files being written determine the actual compression ratios achieved. · · · · · · Firmware Upgrades and Drivers 1 The manufacturer frequently provides new and updated tools to use with its tape drives.

Configuration and installation are not difficult and require only that you follow the instructions presented in this chapter. Preparing to Install the Tape Drive 2 This section helps you prepare to install the DLT-V4 tape drive (tabletop or internal). Before You Start 2 Installing the DLT-V4 SCSI tabletop tape drive requires no special tools. For the SCSI interface, you will need a ballpoint pen to change the SCSI ID switch on the rear panel of the tape drive. If you are installing a DLT-V4 SATA internal tape drive, see Installing the Internal SATA Tape Drive on page 25 for instructions. Installing the DLTV4 internal tape drive requires only the usual tools needed to install an internal tape drive in the computer you have chosen to house the tape drive (for example, a screwdriver and some ESD protection). SCSI Bus Requirements 2 The DLT-V4 SCSI interface tape drive (tabletop and internal) incorporates a wide Ultra160 low-voltage differential (LVD) small computer system DLT-V4 Product Manual Guide 4 Chapter 2 Installing the Tape Drive Preparing to Install the Tape Drive interface (SCSI) bus, but you can also attach it to a single-ended (SE) SCSI bus. Make sure the SCSI host adapter or controller supports these configurations. If you connect the tape drive to an SE bus, or if there are SE devices attached to the same SCSI bus, the tape drive's performance is limited to the maximum data transfer speed and maximum cable lengths of the SE bus (usually 40 MB/s). The DLT-V4 is not compatible with a highvoltage differential (HVD) SCSI bus. Physical Considerations 2 If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you must use a customer-supplied 68-pin to 50-pin adapter that terminates the unused 18 pins. These adapters are sometimes labeled high-byte termination. Make sure the total length of the SCSI bus does not exceed the ANSI SCSI standard of 19 feet (6 meters) for an SE SCSI bus, 40 feet (12 meters) for an LVD SCSI bus with multiple devices, or 82 feet (25 meters) for an LVD SCSI bus with a single device. SATA Requirements 2 The DLT-V4 SATA interface tape drive (internal only) incorporates a Serial ATA (SATA) bus. Make sure the total length of the internal SATA data cable does not exceed the SATA standard of approximately 40 inches (1 meter). DLT-V4 Product Manual 5 Chapter 2 Installing the Tape Drive Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive This section contains step-by-step instructions for installing the tabletop SCSI tape drive. 2 Identifying the Steps 2 Installing the tabletop SCSI tape drive is fast and easy when you follow the instructions in this section in the order presented. Complete the following steps, covered in the next few sections: Table 1 Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Instruction Unpack and check the tape drive for shipping damage. Select a location near the server or workstation that is to host the tape drive. Set the SCSI ID for the tape drive, if you do not want to use the factory-set default. Shut down and power off the server or workstation that is to host the tape drive. Install an LVD/SE SCSI host adapter in the server or workstation, if necessary. Connect the SCSI cable to the tape drive and SCSI host adapter. Connect the terminator on the tape drive--if it is the last or only device on the SCSI bus. Connect the power cable to the tape drive, server or workstation, and all peripheral devices. Plug the power cable into the nearest power outlet and apply power to all devices. Check the tape drive to make sure it is working properly. Refer to page 7 page 7 page 8 page 9 page 11 9 DLT-V4 Product Manual 6 Chapter 2 Installing the Tape Drive Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive Unpacking the Tabletop Tape Drive and Selecting a Location 2 Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the tape drive. You also need to select a location near the server or workstation that has room for the tape drive to sit without being crowded. Note: If the room in which you are working differs from the temperature at which the tape drive was shipped or stored by 30 ºF (17 ºC) or more, let the tape drive acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening the shipping carton. Unpacking the Tabletop Tape Drive 2 Before you do anything else, unpack and inspect the tabletop SCSI tape drive for shipping damage. If you notice any damage, report it both to the sales representative and to the shipping company immediately. Note: Save the packing materials in case you need to move or ship the tape drive in the future. You must ship the tabletop tape drive in the original (or equivalent) packing materials or you will invalidate the warranty. Selecting a Location for the Tabletop Tape Drive Select a location for the tape drive that is flat, sturdy, level, and close to the server or workstation. A desk or tabletop surface is most suitable. Regardless of the location you choose for the tape drive, make sure the environment is free from dust, cigarette smoke, and excessive temperature and humidity. See the DLT-V4 Product Specification for acceptable operating temperature and humidity limits. 2 Be sure to follow these additional guidelines when selecting a location for the tape drive: · · Allow at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) behind the tape drive for proper cooling. Avoid locations near printers or photocopy machines, both of which produce paper fiber and other types of dust and airborne contaminants. Do not place the tape drive on the floor. · DLT-V4 Product Manual 7 Chapter 2 Installing the Tape Drive Installing the Tabletop SCSI Tape Drive · Avoid locations near generators, electric motors, audio speakers, or other sources of magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can adversely affect the tape drive and data cartridges. Setting the SCSI ID 2 All SCSI devices attached to the server or workstation must have a unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices on the selected server or workstation, including the SCSI host adapter, and select an unused SCSI ID for the tape drive. The factory default SCSI ID for this tape drive is 5, as shown in figure 1. If the tape drive's factory default SCSI ID is not already in use by another device on the same SCSI bus, you do not need to change the SCSI ID. Figure 1 Rear Panel SCSI Tabletop Tape Drive 68-pin high-density SCSI connectors SCSI ID switch On Off Power switch Power cable connector Note: If you attach the tape drive to a narrow (50-pin) SCSI bus, you can only use IDs 0 through 7. To set the SCSI ID on the tape drive, use a small screwdriver or ballpoint pen to press the button above the SCSI ID switch to select the next lower SCSI ID. Press the button below the SCSI ID switch to select the next higher SCSI ID. Each time you press one of these buttons, the SCSI ID decreases or increases by one. Press the appropriate button until the desired SCSI ID appears on the switch display. DLT-V4 Product Manual 8
