A Using the Tape Drive

A1 Handling the Tape Drive

and Data Cartridges

Handling the Tape Drive

!Do not carry the tape drive by inserting your fingers into

the receiver area. You could damage the tape drive if you

lift or carry it in this manner.

Do not stand the tape drive on its front panel.

Always place the tape drive on a flat, stable surface.

Avoid dusty, humid, or smoke-filled areas.

Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

Handling Data Cartridges

Keep cartridges in their protective cases when not in use.

Protect cartridges from shock, vibration, moisture, direct

sunlight, dust, smoke, and magnetic fields.

Use the slide-in labels provided. Do not use adhesive

labels or Post-it®notes, and do not write on the cartridge.

Never touch the tape or tape leader. Dust and oils from

your skin contaminate the tape and affect performance.

!Always visually inspect a data cartridge before placing it

in the tape drive. If it is damaged, do not use the cartridge.

B4

!Never power off the tape drive while it contains a

cartridge.

guidelines, B3.

Required Yellow On Cleaning is required.

Off Cleaning is not required.

Eject N/A Press Use the Eject button to eject a

cartridge from the tape drive. When

you press Eject, the tape drive

finishes writing data to the tape, then

ejects the cartridge.

Infrared Port The infrared port provides a wireless

and integrators to access system

diagnostic information.

cated by the LEDs on the front of

the tape drive.

A3 | Loading and Unloading Data Cartridges

A3 Loading and Unloading

Data Cartridges

To Load a Data Cartridge

1. Insert the data cartridge into the receiver on the front of the

tape drive.

2. Push the cartridge completely into the receiver.

The green Drive Status LED (A2)flashes as the tape loads.

When the tape reaches the Beginning of Tape (BOT) marker,

the Drive Status and Drive Density LEDs (A2)light

steadily, indicating that the cartridge is ready for use.

Note: The Drive Density LED is green when a

Super DLTtape II cartridge is inserted; orange when a

Super DLTtape I or DLTtape VS1 cartridge is inserted;

and off when no cartridge is inserted or an incompatible

cartridge is inserted (A2). For information about

choosing data cartridges, B1.

To Unload a Data Cartridge

1. Press the Eject button on the front bezel.

The tape drive completes writing data to the tape, and the

Drive Status LED (A2) flashes as the tape rewinds.

When the tape reaches the BOT marker, the tape drive ejects

the data cartridge. The Drive Status LED lights steadily, and

the Drive Density LED:

• Remains green if you ejected a Super DLTtape II cartridge

• Turns off if you ejected a backward-read cartridge.

2. Remove the cartridge from the tape drive and return it to its

plastic case (A1).

Cleaning the Tape Heads | A4

A4 Cleaning the Tape Heads

Over time, ambient pollution and particulates in the

environment contaminate the tape heads. The tape drive

indicates when cleaning is required by illuminating the

yellow Cleaning Required LED. A2

!Do not clean the tape heads unless the Cleaning Required

LED is illuminated.

!Use ONLY the SDLT CleaningTape. Other cleaning tapes,

such as CleaningTape III or DLT VS CleaningTape, are

incompatible with the SDLT 600 tape drive heads.

To Clean the Tape Heads

1. Insert a Super DLTtape cleaning cartridge (the brand name

to look for is SDLTtape™ CleaningTape) into the tape

drive.

The green Drive Status LED flashes and the cleaning cycle

begins automatically.

When the cleaning cycle completes, the tape drive

automatically ejects the CleaningTape; turns off the Cleaning

Required LED; and steadily illuminates the Drive Status

LED.

2. Remove the CleaningTape, place it back in its plastic case,

and mark the label after each cleaning.

Note: On the last cleaning, the tape drive does not eject the

CleaningTape. Use the Eject button on the front of the

tape drive to eject the expired cleaning cartridge and

dispose of it.

B1 | Choosing Data Cartridges

B Using Data Cartridges

B1 Choosing Data Cartridges

The SDLT 600 tape drive writes to Super DLTtape II data

cartridges. The Super DLTtape II cartridge is blue and has a

distinctive pattern molded into the plastic, along with the

DLTtape logo. The cartridge’s geometry is similar to

previous DLTtape cartridges to simplify integration with

existing tape library designs. Its keying feature, however,

ensures that it cannot be loaded into previous generation tape

drives.

The SDLT 600 tape drive includes a backward-read

compatibility feature that enables it to read (but not write to)

Super DLTtape I and DLTtape VS1 cartridges. The

following table lists the transfer rates for backward-read

cartridges.

Write-protecting Data Cartridges | B2

B2 Write-protecting Data

Cartridges

To prevent accidental erasure of your data, each data

cartridge has a write-protect switch. When active, this switch

prevents the tape drive from writing data to the cartridge.

!For valuable data, always make sure the cartridge is

write-protected before inserting it into the tape drive.

To enable write-protection:

Move the write-protect switch left so that the bright

orange rectangle is visible.

To disable write-protection:

Move the write-protect switch right so that the orange

rectangle is not visible.

Move switch left to write-

protect media. Orange

indicates write-protected.
