DAT 72 (DDS Gen5) 36/72 GBYTE
Installing a DAT drive
The following steps must be performed to install the DAT drive:
Mounting the DAT drive
Connecting the DAT drive
Installing the software required (e. g. SCSI drivers and backup software)
i
Current drivers, Firmware and Tools are on
the TapeSupport CD
on the Internet www.fujitsu-siemens.com.
on the Internet ftp://ftp.fujitsu-siemens.com/fsc/supportcds/
Installing 5 1/4 inch version
!
Please note the information provided in the chapter "Important notes" in the Operating
Manual of the computer or in the manual "Safety and Ergonomics".
i
The drivers to operate SCSI devices are supplied with the SCSI host adapter. For
information on the drivers which need to be entered in the CONFIG.SYS file, please refer to
the documentation accompanying the software. In addition to these SCSI drivers you also
require device drivers for the DAT drive. These drivers are part of the package supplied
with your operating system or your backup software.
Integrating DAT drive (5 1/4 inch version)
If the DAT drive is not installed at the factory, it is supplied in a frame and requires a 5 1/4-inch bay.
It can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Install the DAT drive as described in "Installing a disk drive" in the Technical Manual or in the
Operating Manual for the computer.
Connecting DAT drive (5 1/4 inch version)
i
The SCSI bus must be equipped with terminators on the first and last device. With an
LVD/SE-SCSI cable (Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended), the terminator is already
mounted on the end of the cable. With an SE-SCSI cable you require an additional
terminator when the DAT drive is connected as the last device.
Use an LVD/SE-SCSI cable if possible to achieve the high throughput rates in the LVD
mode.
Use only drives that can be operated in the LVD mode on the LVD/SE-SCSI cable if
possible. If a drive is connected in the SE mode, then all drives connected to the LVD/SE-
SCSI cable will automatically be operated in the SE mode and the high throughput rates
will not be reached in the LVD mode.
