CHAPTER 4: Installing Your Tape Drive
4.2 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.
3.
Check the 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

for the most current
compatibility information.
