IMPORTANT:
Refer to
www.tandbergdata.com
for detailed compatibility
information about operating systems and software applications.
SAS cable and port
A standard SAS cable (not supplied) with integrated power connector is appropriate
for this installation. The server must have a SAS HBA that supports internal SAS
ports. See
www.tandbergdata.com
for recommended products. If necessary, install
a new HBA and any associated drivers before you install the tape drive.
Drivers
For Windows systems, download the latest drivers from
www.tandbergdata.com
.
For other operating systems, patch to the latest version of the operating system,
following the instructions in the patch documentation.
Backup software
Always
upgrade
your software application to ensure it works correctly with the tape
drive. We do
NOT
recommend native backup applications, such as Windows Backup,
because they do not support the full features of the tape drive and may cause
performance problems.
NOTE:
Some backup applications require you to use their own drivers. Refer
to the documentation of your software application to ensure you are using the
recommended driver.
Hardware encryption
The DAT320 tape drive includes hardware capable of supporting data encryption.
To make use of this feature you need a backup application that supports hardware
encryption and DAT320 media.
Power requirements
Mounting bay
You need one industry-standard, 5 1/4-inch, half-height bay in which to install the
Tandberg Data DAT320 tape drive.
Different models of server require different mounting methods. Refer to your server
documentation for detailed information. You may need to purchase mounting
hardware separately.
