Figure 1­3 shows the rear of the DDS-DC drive with the significant bits identified. Set the drive's SCSI-2 target address to an address that's not used by another SCSI-2 device. Using Figure 1­3 as a guide, use needlenose pliers to set the jumpers. When finished, refer to "Preparing the System, " later in this chapter, for information on verifying the jumpers have been set correctly and your system sees the drive. Do not use SCSI-2 address 7 because the system's SCSI-2 controller uses address 7 by default. We advise that you do not use SCSI-2 address 6 because the root disk drive uses it. 2. 3.

Adding or Removing Expansion Brackets 1­16 Introduction You are now ready to begin the hardware installation of your DDS-DC drive. The step-by-step instructions for installing the drive are found in the owner's guide that came with your workstation. 1­17 Chapter 2 Using the DDS-DC Drive This chapter provides the following information on using your DDS-DC drive: · · · DDS-DC drive configuration Controls and features of the DDS-DC drive Using the DDS-DC drive To verify SONY-UX system operation, see the owner's guide that came with your workstation. For more information on checking or reconfiguring the kernel for a device driver or file, see System Administration Tasks Manual: SONY 9000 Series 700 Computers. 2­1 Using Your DDS Drive Your DDS-DC Drive Configuration Your SONY-UX operating system comes with preconfigured device files and drivers. If you use these preconfigured device files and drivers, you won't need to configure your DDS-DC drive with the operating system. To find out more about creating and using device files, see the owner's guide that came with your system. Controls and Features of the DDS-DC Drive Your DDS-DC tape drive is either a 3 1/2-inch form factor, or a 5 1/4-inch form factor DDS-DC tape drive with data compression and a SCSI interface. It conforms to the DDS-DC format standard for storing computer data. It's a high-capacity, high transfer-rate device for data storage on tape. Figure 2­1 shows the LEDs and eject button of the DDS-DC drive. Tape Light Clean/Attention Light Eject Button Figure 2­1. DDS-DC Drive Controls and Indicators 2­2 Using Your DDS Drive LEDs The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Tape Light and the Clean/Attention Light. The Tape Light flashes green to show activity (loading, unloading, reading, and writing). Steady green means a cartridge is loaded. [. . . ] You can access the Support Tools Manager in a terminal window. If you are using SONY VUE as your interface, you can also access the Support Tools Manager through the sys_admin directory. Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface (accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven interface (accessed through the mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command). For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the following at a command line prompt: man cstm man mstm man xstm RETURN RETURN RETURN 3­6 Troubleshooting and Removal/Replacement Procedures To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps: 1.
