Refer installation to qualified personnel only. Before you begin installation, position the system unit and any external option power switches to Off, then unplug the system unit and all other options from the wall outlet. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of Section 2.1, Preparing to Install. 2. Select an empty slot in the system unit. 3. Remove the cover in front of the empty slot before installing the Host Adapter Board. Loosen the screw and lift out the cover. (Keep cover for later use.) 4. Insert the Host Adapter Board by pressing it firmly into the connector of the empty slot. It will snap into place. Fasten the screw. 5. If you are installing an external tape unit, you may now replace the cover on your computer case. Be careful not to snag or pinch any wires or cables. Proceed to Section 2.2.5. 2-16 Installing a SCSI Interface Unit Installing a SCSI Interface Unit 2.2 Configuring and Installing the Host Adapter Boards 2.2.4 Installing the Internal Tape Unit To install the Internal Tape Unit, take the following steps: 1. Examine the space that you intend to mount the drive. If the design of your computer case incorporates slide tracks for rails on the sides of mounted devices, attach the plastic rails provided with your system to the sides of the tape unit. Select the proper size screws for your tape unit. 2. The internal drive unit left the factory strapped as Drive 5. If there is a Device ID conflict in your system, you must add or remove jumpers to the jumper block on the back of the unit to reorganize some other drive address (1 through 7). See Figure 2-15 and Figure 2-16 for details. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ If you are using the V570 Host Adapter Board, set the drive SCSI ID to 2. ------------------------------------------------------------ Installing a SCSI Interface Unit 2-17 Installing a SCSI Interface Unit 2.2 Configuring and Installing the Host Adapter Boards Figure 2-15 Internal Device ID (Drive No.) Jumpering 2-18 Installing a SCSI Interface Unit Installing a SCSI Interface Unit 2.2 Configuring and Installing the Host Adapter Boards 3. Slide the tape into the computer case to make sure there are no obstructions. Nothing should be forced. If rail mounting does not work, examine how the disk drives have been mounted in your computer and determine a way to mount the drive. There are too many different case designs on the market to be able to give exact mounting instructions. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Depending on the final location of your tape drive, you may find it easier to plug the flat cable into the tape drive (see step 5 for cable connector orientation) before you mount the drive in the computer. Thread the cable into the mounting area first and route it toward the adapter board. Gently guide the cable as you push the drive into place. Be careful; Ribbon cables are delicate! ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. Before you mount the tape drive in the computer chassis, check to see that you will be able to plug the DC power cable into the unit easily. 5. Mount the tape unit to the computer chassis appropriately and plug the DC power cable in the drives power connector. See Figure 2-16. The mating connector is keyed so it will only go together one way. 6. If you have not already done so, connect the flat ribbon cable to the unit. 7.

This section also explains proper tape cartridge handling. 3.3.1 Tape Cartridge Handling Take the following measures to prevent damage to your tape cartridge and to ensure continued tape drive reliability: · Avoid dropping or banging cartridge. · Keep cartridge out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and other sources of heat. · Store cartridge where the temperature is between 10 and 40°C (50 to 104°F). · After exposure to extreme heat or cold, allow the cartridge to stabilize at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed--up to 24 hours. · Avoid placing cartridge near sources of electromagnetic interference, such as terminals, motors, and video or X-ray equipment. Any tape exposed to a magnetic field can lose information. · Store cartridge in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is between 20 to 80 percent. · Store cartridge in its protective container, on edge or stacked. However, when stacking cartridges, do not stack more than five high. · Place an identification label only in the space provided for the label on the top of cartridge. 3.3.2 Setting the Write-Protect Switch Observe the following guidelines when setting the write-protect switch. See Figure 3-3. · If you are reading data or copying data from a tape, set the write-protect switch to Safe (write protected). · If you are writing data, set the write-protect switch to the write-permit position. Operating Procedures 3-5 Operating Procedures 3.3 Using the Tape Cartridge Figure 3-3 Setting the Write-Protect Switch 3.3.3 Inserting the Tape Cartridge into the Drive Open the drive door by pressing the eject button. Insert the tape cartridge into the drive with the cartridge's write-protect switch in the upper right corner (see Figure 3-4.) Slide the cartridge straight into the cartridge area until you feel resistance. Then, close the cartridge door. When the tape is properly inserted, the LED will be solid green and you can issue host operating system commands. Figure 3-4 Inserting the Tape Cartridge 3-6 Operating Procedures Operating Procedures 3.3 Using the Tape Cartridge 3.3.4 Removing the Tape Cartridge from the Drive After the tape is dismounted via software, the LED changes from blinking green to either solid green or off, and you can remove the tape from the drive. Press the eject button. The door will open and the cartridge will eject part way. Pull down on the cartridge door, grasp the cartridge, and slide it out of the drive. 3.3.5 Retensioning For satisfactory performance we recommend that the cartridge be retensioned (running the tape one complete end-to-end pass) in any of the following cases: · Each time it is inserted in the drive · After prolonged operation over a limited area · After exposure to a temperature change greater than 30°F (16°C) · After one hour of start-stop or shuffle operation The retension function is supported for the TZK10/TZK11 tape drives only. The retension command may be different for other operating systems or tape utilities. Please refer to the appropriate system documentation. 3.3.5.1 VAX/VMS and OpenVMS Retension the tape by performing the following VMS/OpenVMS commands: 1. Mount the drive /FOREIGN For example: $ MOUNT/FOREIGN MKA500 2. Issue one of the following commands: · SET MAGTAPE/REWIND/RETENSION Rewinds tape to BOT after a retension is performed. · SET MAGTAPE/UNLOAD/RETENSION The tape will be left "unloaded," not dismounted. For example: $ SET MAGTAPE/REWIND/RETENSION MKA500 ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Retension for the TZK11 is not supported in VAX/VMS 5.5-2. However, support for the command is planned for subsequent releases. ------------------------------------------------------------ Operating Procedures 3-7 Operating Procedures 3.3 Using the Tape Cartridge 3.3.5.2 DEC OSF/1 Retension the tape by performing the following DEC OSF/1 command: mt -f /dev/rmtnh ret where n equals the drive unit number. 3.3.5.3 SCO UNIX Retension the tape by typing the following SCO UNIX command: $ tape reten 3.4 Jumper/Switch Settings This section shows how TZK11 tape drive is configured via jumpers (Embedded unit) or switch (Table Top unit). 3.4.1 SCSI ID Settings This section shows how each Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) device's ID is determined and set. TZK11 tape drives are preset to the appropriate SCSI ID for the system during manufacturing. The SCSI IDs only have to be changed when a TZK11 tape drive is installed as an add-on to a system. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Each SCSI device must have a unique SCSI ID. ------------------------------------------------------------ The SCSI ID for the TZK11 Embedded unit is set or changed by adding jumpers to, or removing jumpers from, a connector at the rear of the tape drive. This connector is illustrated in Figure 3-5. The TZK11 Table Top unit is set or changed by micro switch on the rear of the unit. See Figure 3-6. Each ID is represented by decimal digit. The valid SCSI ID is 0-7. Table 3-4 lists the jumper settings necessary to configure the TZK11 tape drive for a particular SCSI ID. 3-8 Operating Procedures Operating Procedures 3.4 Jumper/Switch Settings Table 3-4 TZK11 Embedded SCSI ID Jumper Settings ------------------------------------------------------------ SCSI ID Jumper+ Positions ------------------------------------------------------------ SCSI ID SEL2 SEL1 SEL0 ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 Out Out Out 1 Out Out In 2 Out In Out 3 Out In In 4 In Out Out 5§ In Out In 6 In In Out 7 In In In ------------------------------------------------------------ §Default ID for the TZK11 tape drive in most Digital systems (Default). +Jumper Part Number - 12-14314-00 ------------------------------------------------------------ Operating Procedures 3-9 Operating Procedures 3.4 Jumper/Switch Settings Figure 3-5 Layout of the Jumper/Strap Connector 3-10 Operating Procedures Operating Procedures 3.4 Jumper/Switch Settings Figure 3-6 TZK11 Table Top Drive (Rear Panel) Operating Procedures 3-11 Operating Procedures 3.4 Jumper/Switch Settings 3.4.2 Vendor/Product ID Select and Terminator Power On the TZK11 Embedded unit, the Vendor/Product ID Select and Terminator Power are set or changed by installing jumpers to, or removing jumpers from, the connector illustrated in Figure 3-5. The default setting for the Vendor/Product ID Select (VSEL) jumper is TZK11. For the Terminator Power (TERMPWR) jumper, the default is Enable. When the unit is installed in a system with a non-Digital operating system, the VSEL jumper should be removed. On the TZK11 Table Top unit, the Vendor/Product ID Select is set via the micro switch on the rear of the unit that is shown in Figure 3-6. The Terminator Power is set as the default and is not selectable without removing the Table Top enclosure. The default setting for the Vendor/Product ID Select (VSEL) switch is to the Digital position, which configures the unit to be a TZK11. When the unit is installed in a system with a non-Digital operating system, the VSEL switch should be set to the PC position. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ TZK11 in PC position is equivalent to Tandberg TDC 4200/4220. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3-12 Operating Procedures 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Operating Systems Support 4.1 TZK11 Operating Systems Support The material in this chapter is for your reference. Because operating system commands are a complex tool, this chapter is not intended to teach you all the details involved in using such commands. The TZK11 cartridge tape drive reads and writes tapes in many different densities and formats that are specified by the International Quarter-inch Cartridge (QIC) Standards Committee. The drive also supports an auto density selection feature that is used differently by different operating systems. This chapter describes the way different operating systems use the following features: · The 512-bytes/1KB Block Sizes versus Variable Block Sizes · Auto Density Selection in the Read case · Density Selection in the Write case · Vendor/Product ID Select 4.1.1 Digital Operating Systems Support 4.1.1.1 VAX/VMS and OpenVMS Support The TZK11 cartridge tape drive is supported by VAX/VMS version 5.5-2 or higher, OpenVMS/VAX version 6.0 or higher, and OpenVMS/AXP version 1.5 or higher. 4.1.1.2 DEC OSF/1 Support The TZK11 Data Cartridge Tape Drive is supported by DEC OSF/1 version 1.3 or higher. Operating Systems Support 4-1 Operating Systems Support 4.1 TZK11 Operating Systems Support 4.1.1.3 Windows NT (AXP) Support The TZK11 Data Cartridge Tape Drive is supported by Windows NT (AXP) 3.1 or higher. Windows NT (AXP) supports TZK11 in PC mode. 4.1.2 Non-Digital Operating Systems Support When configured as a PC device, the TZK11 cartridge tape drive will be equivalent to a TDC 4200/4220. It is supported by non-Digital operating systems, such as: · MS-DOS/Windows, OS/2, Novell Netware, etc., when running from popular Backup Utilities such as SYTOS Plus, Conner Backup Exec Software, CorelSCSI, CPBackup, Norton Backup, Fastback, etc. (Check the correct version and device support list from listed Software Supplier 's literature.) · Windows NT 3.1 supports NT Tape Backup Utility. · SCO UNIX supports with UNIX Tape Archive Retrieval (TAR) Utility. 4.1.3 512-Byte Blocks, 1KB Blocks, and Variable Bytes Records The QIC standards specify three formats for QIC-525/1GB/2GB cartridges. In all three cases the on-tape data format is 1K fixed blocks. 512-byte fixed block The 512-byte fixed-block format takes two 512-byte user data blocks and writes one 1K block on tape. This format has the advantage that all other density QIC tapes are written in 512-byte blocks. Replacing older QIC tape drives with new density drives takes little or no operating system changes. 1K fixed block This format is the native format for this density. User data is written directly as 1K data blocks. Variable-byte record tapes This format takes user data and creates one or more fixed-length blocks. The byte count is recorded in the first block and the last block is zero filled. In this way, the drive appears to read and write variable length records. The following sections address the effects that the three formats have on operating systems. 4.1.3.1 VAX/VMS and OpenVMS VAX/VMS and OpenVMS systems will only support the drive in variable block mode. This mode allows the drive to be used like any other VAX/VMS or OpenVMS tape drive. 4-2 Operating Systems Support Operating Systems Support 4.1 TZK11 Operating Systems Support 4.1.3.2 DEC OSF/1 Operating System The DEC OSF/1 operating system will operate the TZK11 tape drive in both fixed-block 512-byte and variable block mode. Fixed-block mode is supported for QIC-120/150. Variable block mode is supported for QIC-320/525/1GB/2GB. 4.1.3.3 Windows NT (AXP) Support Windows NT (AXP) supports TZK11 in fixed-block mode, which is the same as Windows NT native mode. 4.1.3.4 Non-Digital Operating Systems Systems running OS/2, MS-DOS/Windows, Windows NT, and SCO UNIX support 512-byte or 1KB fixed block depends on backup utility. 4.1.4 Auto Density Select in the Read Case The TZK11 tape drive performs automatic density selection when the tape drive is positioned at Beginning of Tape (BOT) and receives a read command. Because there are two formats of fixed-block operations, the drive can be set up in the factory to default to either format. The TZK11 is set to 512-byte block format. 4.1.5 Density Select in the Write Case This feature allows the TZK11 tape drive to select the density the tape is written start from BOT. In default mode, TZK11 is auto density select the format and density of the inserted cartridge. The auto density select enabled the TZK11 to write the tape in the highest density supported by the current cartridge. When other density which different than default is selected, TZK11 will write the selected density on tape if the inserted cartridge supports the selected density. This feature is OS dependent. 4.1.6 Vendor/Product ID Select This feature is controlled by a jumper and micro switch on the back of the embedded and table top drive respectively. When the Vendor/Product ID Select (VSEL) jumper is installed or switch set to the Digital position, the drive will be a TZK11. This configuration is recommended for Digital operating systems. When the Vendor/Product ID Select (VSEL) jumper is not installed or when the switch is set to the PC position, the drive will be a TDC 4200. This configuration is recommended for non-Digital operating systems. Operating Systems Support 4-3 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ Preventive Maintenance and Problem Resolution This chapter describes preventive maintenance and problem solving for the TZK11 cartridge tape drive. Preventive maintenance involves periodic head cleaning. Problem solving is described in Section 5.3. Digital Equipment Corporation strongly recommends that you follow the instructions for handling cartridge tapes, retensioning the cartridge tapes, and cleaning the heads of the drive. 5.1 Cleaning the Heads The heads are the components in a drive that physically read and write data to and from the media (in this case, a cartridge tape). Recommended equipment for head cleaning is Digital Cleaning Cartridge, part number TZK1X-HA. Refer to the tape head cleaning instructions included with the cleaning cartridge. The cleaning interval depends on three main factors: 1. How often the drive is used 2. The quality of the tape 3. The quality of the environment However, the following can be used as a recommended guideline: Clean the head after every 8 hours of use. 5.2 System-Based Diagnostics Your system has system-based diagnostics that can be used to test the TZK11 tape drive. System-based diagnostics are usually referred to in your system owner 's manual as console-based diagnostics, self-tests, or system exercisers. Refer to your system documentation for information about these diagnostics. Preventive Maintenance and Problem Resolution 5-1 Preventive Maintenance and Problem Resolution 5.2 System-Based Diagnostics Prior to calling Customer Services, you can execute system diagnostics to test the TZK11 drive. Always try cleaning the head and using a different cartridge before calling Customer Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE ------------------------------------------------------------ Some system-based diagnostics are subject to software licensing. Consult your Digital Equipment Corporation sales representative. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5.3 Tape Drive and Media Errors If a drive error occurs during an operation, you may be able to clear the fault, rewind, unload, and remove the tape cartridge. If the amber LED goes out when you remove the cartridge, the error is likely media related or due to a dirty head. Clean the head and try another cartridge. If the amber LED stays on when you remove the cartridge, call your authorized Digital Equipment Corporation Customer Services representative. 5.4 Repair Services Digital Equipment Customer Services offer a range of flexible service plans. 5.4.1 On-Site Service On-Site Service offers the convenience of service at your site, and insurance against unplanned repair bills.
