[. . . ] Attach your tape drive to the secondary IDE port Are any other devices attached to your secondary IDE port? · If no other devices are attached to your secondary IDE port, use a new 40-pin IDE cable to attach the tape drive to the secondary IDE port. The tape drive must be configured as "master. " d aarr H sc ii D r te rd pu oa m rb Co the o M TA PE Primary IDE port Secondary IDE port Stripe on cable Pin 1 (typical) · If you already have a CD-ROM or other device attached to your secondary IDE port, attach the tape drive to the middle connector on the IDE cable, as shown in the illustration. d aarr H sc ii D r te rd pu a m rbo Co the o M -D D CM CM O O R R Primary IDE port Secondary IDE port PE AP TA Pin 1 (typical) NOTE: Do not attach your tape drive to a cable that is already being used by a hard disc or a sound card. In either case, make sure that pin 1 on the tape drive is connected with pin 1 on the IDE cable and on the IDE port connector. Pin 1 on the tape drive is located next to the 4-pin power cable. If your tape drive will be in the middle of a SCSI chain, as shown in Example 2, you must disable SCSI termination on the drive. To disable SCSI termination on the tape drive, remove the termination jumper (see figure). Make sure that the last SCSI device on the cable has termination enabled. · SCSI Host Adapter (termination enabled) SCSI Host Adapter (termination enabled) Tape drive (termination disabled) CD-ROM drive (termination disabled) Tape drive (termination enabled) Hard drive (termination enabled) EXAMPLE 1: SCSI termination where the tape drive is the last or only SCSI device. EXAMPLE 2: SCSI termination in a system with three internal SCSI devices. Note: Drive is shown upside down Jumper must be installed here to enable SCSI termination. Remove jumper to disable termination. NOTE: If your computer has external SCSI devices or SCSI devices attached to a wide (68-pin) SCSI cable, see your SCSI host adapter manual for termination instructions. 9 Installing a SCSI Drive Check additional SCSI options (optional) 3. Check additional SCSI options (optional) The drive's factory-default settings for termination power and parity should work with most computer systems and SCSI host adapters. Do not change these settings unless you have problems accessing your tape drive. · · SCSI termination power: If you need to disable termination power, remove the termination power jumper shown at left. Parity checking: If you need to disable parity checking, remove the parity jumper. Note: Drive is shown upside down Enable termination power (default is ON) Enable parity checking (default is ON) 10 Installing a SCSI Drive Attach or remove mounting brackets 4. Attach or remove mounting brackets Are you mounting the drive in a 3. 5-inch or 5. 25-inch bay? · · If you are mounting the drive in a 5. 25-inch drive bay and your drive did not come with brackets already attached, you must attach mounting brackets to each side of the drive, as shown. If you are mounting the tape drive in a 3. 5-inch drive bay, you may need to remove the mounting brackets from each side of the drive. Mount the drive Slide the drive into an unused drive bay, so that the bezel is flush with the front of the computer. Secure the drive using four mounting screws. Do not overtighten the screws. 5. 25-inch drive bay 3. 5-inch drive bay 11 Installing a SCSI Drive Connect the drive to your SCSI host adapter 6. Connect the drive to your SCSI host adapter If you have enabled SCSI termination for the tape drive, attach the drive to the last 50-pin connector on the SCSI cable. Otherwise, attach the tape drive to the unused 50-pin connector nearest the end of the SCSI cable (see figure). Make sure that pin 1 on the cable (indicated by a stripe) is attached to pin 1 on the host adapter and on the drive. d aarr H sscc ii D Pin 1 (typical) s Ho SI er SCapt Ad t E PE TA TA Stripe on cable Note. In this configuration, SCSI termination for the hard drive must be enabled. SCSI termination for the tape must be disabled. NOTE: The TapeStor Travan SCSI drives use a 50-pin SCSI connector. These drives cannot be attached to 68-pin wide SCSI connectors. 7. Connect the power cable Connect a 4-pin power cable to the back of the tape drive (see figure). [. . . ] When the write-protect switch is in the "locked" position, the drive can read data from the cartridge, but cannot write to the cartridge. Cartridges are shipped from the factory with the write-protect switch set to the "unlocked" position. Unlocked Locked Recommended tape cartridges The table below summarizes the types of tape cartridges that can be used with the TapeStor Travan 20GB drive. Tape format Read/write Read only Travan 20/NS20 (TR-5) (all other tape formats are incompatible) Travan 8 (TR-4) (all other tape formats are incompatible) Capacity* 20 Gbytes 8 Gbytes NOTE: "Capacities based on 2:1 data compression. Uncompressed values are one half as high. Capacities, backup speeds and transfer rates will vary with file type and system configuration. 16 5. [. . . ]
