This may cause water condensation to collect inside the drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is turned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, a malfunction may occur. · Turning off the power to the drive while it is writing to tape may cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled. Transportation · Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the drive. · Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drive. After removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packing. 8 SCSI Termination The SDX-500V and SA-NS310 conform to the Microsoft PC97 standard which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an internal terminator. Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.

"WORM" is an acronym for "Write Once Read Many", a function that allows data to be written to the same place on a tape only once, but permits that data to be read from the tape for any number of times. When a WORM cartridge is used with an application that supports the WORM function, data that has been written to a tape can not be accidentally deleted or overwritten. A WORM drive operates in the same manner as a non-WORM drive when used with a non-WORM cartridge (henceforth referred to as "regular cartridge"). [. . . ]
