Pre-Installation Guidelines
Before you begin, check the contents of the box, record the applicable numbers,
check for SCSI controller and cable compatibility, and confirm software and
operating system compatibility. Finally, check the drive to make sure it is operating
properly before installing it in a system.
1.
Unpack and review the contents of the box to ensure that nothing has been
damaged. If items have been damaged, contact your drive provider.
2.
Record the model and serial number of the SDLT system. These numbers
provide specific information about the SDLT system and will be very helpful
if you have to contact technical support. These numbers can be found on the
bottom of the drive enclosure.
The Model Number is a number and letter string usually beginning with the
letters “TR.”
Model Number: TR
The Serial Number is an 8-character string usually beginning with the letters
“MX.”
Serial Number: MX
3.
Check the enclosed SCSI cable to ensure it is compatible with the SCSI
controller card in the host computer.
4.
Check the SCSI interface on the host computer to ensure that it is compatible
with the drive. Possible interfaces include MSE single-ended, MSE low
voltage differential, or high voltage differential. Remember that a single ended
or low voltage differential drive will only work with a system that has an MSE
controller card installed; and a high voltage differential drive will only work
with a differential controller card.
5.
Confirm that your back-up software and operating system are compatible with
the drive. Refer to

information.
