UDO Drive Type
The Archive Appliance Express (AAE) can have either a UDO30 or a UDO60 drive installed. The drive
type is indicated on the front of the drive as shown in the pictures below. UDO30 drives read and write
only 30GB media. UDO60 drives read and write 60GB media, and can read 30GB media.
Figure 2. UDO Drive Types
The door on the UDO30 drive opens back into the drive case, while the door on the UDO60 drive
opens out from the case. Media is inserted into the UDO30 by pushing it in against the door. Media is
inserted into the UDO60 drive by pressing the eject button to first open the door.
Media is removed from both drive types by pressing the eject button. If the media cartridge is not
removed within 30 seconds, the UDO60 drive retracts the media back into the drive without spinning
up.
