Precautions
Installation
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
- high humidity
- high temperature
- mechanical shock and vibration
- direct sunlight
Operation
• Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from a low to high in temperature. This
may cause water condensation to collect inside the drive. If the ambient
temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is turned on , wait at least one
hour before turning on the drive. If you attempt to operate the drive immediately
after a sudden increase in temperature, a malfunction may occur.
• Turning off the power to the drive while it is writing to tape may cause the tape to
become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will be lost, whenever
power to the drive is cycled.
Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate transportation of the drive.
• Always remove the tape before moving the drive. After removing the drive from the
computer, repack the drive into its original packing.
Notice of SCSI Termination
• The SDX-500C conforms to the Microsoft PC97 standard which requires the
internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements
SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external cable ends
are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
