Equipment Description

The LTO standalone is a SCSI-compatible, high performance, tape cartridge device designed for storage of near-line and off-line data.
The LTO standalone is equipped with a 2-line by 20-character, back-lit LCD display (LCD). The LCD displays drive status messages, error
messages, and drive Power-On Self-Test (POST) result messages. The LTO standalone uses a 7-segment single-character LED (single-
character display) to communicate error conditions and informational messages. The LTO standalone also includes Flash EEPROM
technology that allows you to easily update firmware onsite from tape or from the host.

o
When used with generation 1 tape cartridges, the native capacity is 100 GB (200 GB compressed, assuming 2:1
o
compression).
LTO 400D

Options

SCSI Interface

The LTO standalone is available with either an Ultra-2 or Ultra-3, Low Voltage Differential/Single Ended (LVD/SE) SCSI interface, or an
Ultra-2, High-Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI interface. The LTO 200D uses Ultra-2 and is available either with LVD/SE or HVD SCSI
connections. The LTO 400D uses Ultra-3 and is only available with LVD/SE connections.
2 Introduction
Single-Ended (SE) and LVD/SE SCSI devices are not compatible with HVD
SCSI devices. Equipment damage may occur if you connect your LTO
standalone to an incompatible SCSI bus.
