Compression ratios are normally specified to be 2:1, meaning that it is possible to store twice as much data on the tape as normal without data compression. However, the compression rate is depending on the type of data, e.g. ordinary text files can be compressed in a much higher rate than program files. There are two ways to compress data, hardware compression and software compression. The storage device very often does hardware compression, and software compression means that the program is compressing the data before it is sent to the storage device. Hardware compression is much more efficient, and works much faster than software compression. The Tandberg Data SLR4-DC, SLR5, SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140 use ALDC Hardware compression to compress data. This feature is enabled per default but the user may turn off data compression through the application software or specific Software Tools. (Please refer to the Tandberg SCSI tools chapter at the end of this manual for more information). Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide 7 Tandberg Data This Page Intentionally Left Blank 8 Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide Tandberg Data Tape Drive Installation SCSI Controller Board Installation All Tandberg Data SLR tape drives uses a SCSI interface to the host system. Before any SCSI device can be installed it is necessary to have a SCSI controller board installed. Please pay attention to the following points. · Make sure your computer is turn off before proceeding to the installation. · If you computer is equipped with an onboard SCSI controller, before proceeding with the installation, you must first locate the SCSI connector on the computer motherboard. · Refer to the documentation provided with your computer to find out where this connector is located. · If multiple SCSI connectors are available, you can choose any of them, except if your computer documentation mentions something different. · When done, firmly connect the SCSI connector to the Mainboard connector and refer to the section Mounting the Tape Drive to install your internal SLR. · If your PC/Server needs a separate SCSI controller, you need to make sure it is properly installed before connecting your SLR tape drive. Tandberg SLR Installation and User's Guide 9 Tandberg Data · You will also need a software driver from the SCSI controller vendor to activate the SCSI Controller. Please make sure you have the latest software driver for your SCSI controller loaded, and that the SCSI controller board is properly installed. Software drivers can be downloaded from the vendors' web site. Refer to the ...
