    The tape drive is compatible with the Netfinity 4500R, 5100, 5600, 6000R, 7100, 7600 and 8500R servers. The tape drive can be installed internally in the IBM eserver xseries 230, 240, 250, 340, and 260. It can be installed externally, using an IBM 3551001 enclosure, in the IBM eserver xseries 200, 220, 230, 240, 250, 330, 340, 350 and 370.
  • Page 11 Depending on your computer, there are several ways to view your current SCSI ID settings: v For many IBM computers, press F1 during the startup after the memory check completes. Other adapters show SCSI settings when you press Ctrl A.
  • Page 12 Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID, termination and parity Before opening the static-protective bag containing the tape drive, touch the bag to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. Remove the drive from the static-protective bag. If you must put the drive down, place the drive on the static-protective bag.
  • Page 13 Note: Use the chart to set the SCSI ID jumper block pins. If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, the bus must be terminated at the drive. Some SCSI cables provide self termination and do not require terminators.
  • Page 14 Most SCSI adapters provide termination power. However, if your SCSI adapter does not provide termination power, you must place a jumper in the enable termination power position 5 on the jumper block 4. For more information, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer or SCSI adapter. If you install the tape drive in an external enclosure like the 3503B1X or 3551001, then the enclosure will require an external LVD SCSI terminator.
  • Page 15 Step 4. Mounting the drive Mount the tape drive; then attach the SCSI and power cables to it. If there is insufficient working space to attach the connectors after mounting the drive, attach the cables first. To mount the drive, follow these steps: 1.
  • Page 16 Step 5. Attaching cables To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive: 1. Locate the SCSI cable on your computer (a 68-pin (wide) ribbon cable with one end connected to the SCSI adapter) and find the next available connector that is farthest from the adapter.
  • Page 17 Ensure that the appropriate advanced SCSI programming interface (ASPI) device drivers are installed to support the tape drive. Device drivers are usually provided with the SCSI adapter. If your computer does not recognize the tape drive after startup or if you receive startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program as described in the documentation that comes with your computer.

  • Page 19: Selecting Data Cartridges

    Selecting data cartridges For writing data, use only SDLT data cartridges. You can order additional cartridges by calling 1-888-IBM-MEDIA or by contacting your local IBM representative. Caring for tape cartridges Use the following maintenance guidelines to properly handle your tape cartridges.
  • Page 20 usage. A static electricity charge on a cartridge might cause a label to cling to the cartridge. If you accidentally insert a label into the system along with a cartridge, the hub reel and system gear might not mesh. v Follow all instructions for tape cartridge handling that come with your cartridges or tape system.

  • Page 21: Setting Write Protection On The Cartridge

    Setting write protection on the cartridge The front of the cartridge has an orange write-protect indicator 1 , and a write-protect switch 2 to prevent accidental erasure. Slide the switch to the right to disable write-protect 3 or to the left to enable write-protect 4 . You can change the write-protect switch before or after inserting the tape.
