The conditioning shall be exposure to the operating environment for a time equal to, or greater than, the time away from the operating environment, up to a maximum of 24 hours. There shall be no deposit of moisture anywhere on or in the cartridge. The stray magnetic field at any point on the tape shall not exceed 4000 A/m. 44 LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive User's Guide Chapter 5 Specifications Regulatory Compliance Cartridge Memory 5 Each Ultrium cartridge has 4 Kbytes of nonvolatile memory: 3 Kbytes are used to store tape-directory and hardware specific information. 1 Kbyte is available for application and OEM use. The cartridge memory is powered, read, and written to via a radio-frequency link. Cartridge Reliability 5 Recommended cartridge use: After 5, 000 load/unload cycles, replace the cartridge to ensure data integrity. See chapter 3, Operation for additional cartridge information and illustrations.

LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive User's Guide 47 Chapter 5 Specifications Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment You should also consider the following safety points: · Install the drive in an enclosure that limits the user's access to live parts, gives adequate system stability and provides the necessary grounding for the drive. Provide the correct voltages (+5 VDC and +12 VDC) based on the regulation applied--Extra Low Voltage (SEC) for UL and CSA, and Safety Extra Low Voltage for BSI and VDE (if applicable). · Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment 5 This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product should not be disposed of with your other waste. Instead, it should be handed over to a designated collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please visit our website at: http://qcare. quantum. com or contact your local government authority, your household waste disposal service or the business from which you purchased the product. 48 LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive User's Guide Chapter 6 6UNIX Settings This chapter describes how to configure various UNIX systems to recognize and obtain optimal performance from the LTO-2 Half-Height Tape Drive.

The drive supports the SCSI Ultra3 specification and can transfer data at burst rates of up to 160 Mbytes per second. To achieve maximum drive performance, it is important to choose high-performance disk drives for your system, as well as high performance SCSI controllers. Table 11 lists the types of SCSI controllers that Quantum recommends, in order of least preferred to most preferred (top to bottom). Table 11 SCSI Controllers Controller Type Wide Ultra2 SCSI Ultra 3 SCSI Ultra 320 SCSI Maximum Transfer Rate 80 Mbytes per second, compatible 160 Mbytes per second, minimum preferred 320 Mbytes per second For definitions of the terms used above, please refer to SCSI Trade Association web site: www. scsita. org/aboutscsi/index01. html Configuring for the DEC/Compaq UNIX Environment Finding Existing SCSI Controllers and Devices 6 SCSI ID #7 is almost always dedicated to the SCSI controller.

[. . . ] You may have purchased a cleaning tape that is not supported by the tape drive. If the tape drive issues a message to backup software to instruct you to clean the tape drive, you may see the message: "The tape drive needs cleaning: 1. If the operation has stopped, eject the tape and clean the drive. If the operation has not stopped, wait for it to finish and then clean the drive. [. . . ]
