Product Information
Front Panel Components
DDS-3 Tape Drive (Optional)
The J5000 and J7000 workstations support either one DDS-3 tape drive or one 3.5-inch
floppy disk drive as an optional component. (Since the DDS-3 tape drive and the floppy
disk drive use the same device bay, only one or the other can be installed.) The bay for the
DDS-3 tape drive or floppy disk drive is located on the top, left-hand side of the front panel.
The optional DDS-3 tape drive (Product Number A5011A) is a 3.5-inch, half-height form
factor device with an NSE (Narrow Single-Ended) SCSI-2 interface. It connects to the
workstation via a 50-pin NSE SCSI-2 ribbon cable and a 4-pin power cable. It has 12 GB
native capacity, or approximately 24 GB with data compression. It conforms to the DDS
format standard for storing computer data, and is a high-capacity, high transfer-rate
device for data storage on tape cartridge.
Figure 1-6 shows the operating features of the DDS-3 tape drive.
