LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive

Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Quantum LTO Ultrium tape drives leverage LTO technology and

Quantum-exclusive features to provide the most reliable and affordable

tape data protection to medium and large businesses.

Quantum LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives, models TC-L32AX and TC-

L32AN (internal), TC-L32BX and TC-L32BN (tabletop), and TC-L33CX and

TC-L33CN (rackmount), are the most reliable Ultrium drives on the market,

delivering reliability features only available from Quantum to extend

media life, Variable-speed Transfer to automatically match the host's data

transfer rate, and Dynamic Powerdown to protect the drive and media in

the event of power loss. Combined with SmartVerify to concurrently verify

all data written to the tape, these features make Quantum LTO drives a

sound investment and a complete data protection solution.

Handling Precautions and

Installation Guidelines 0Always observe the following precautions and guidelines when handling and installing

LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives:

• Internal, at all times

• Tabletop, when removed from its free-standing enclosure

Handling Precautions • Internal drives have exposed components that are

sensitive to static electricity. To reduce the possibility of

damage from static discharge, the drives are packaged

in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive

from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

• Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or

observe similar ESD precautions when working with the

drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact.

Do not remove the wrist strap until you finish working

with the drive.

Also, avoid contact between the drive, other equipment,

and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the

equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD

voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Before removing the drive from the antistatic bag, touch

a grounded metal surface to discharge any static

electricity buildup from your body.

• Handle the drive by its sides rather than by the top

cover to reduce the risk of dropping the drive or

damaging it during installation.

• Either lay the drive on a nonconductive surface or put it

back inside the protective antistatic bag to reduce the

chance of damage from static discharge

Installation Guidelines • LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives with the parallel SCSI

interface are low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI

devices. Install LVD drives only in LVD environments.

Do not mix LVD and HVD devices on the same parallel

SCSI bus.

• Due to the high speed of the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape

Drive, do not connect more than one LTO-3 drive to the

same host bus adapter (HBA).

LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive

Preinstallation

Requirements 0Before installing the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive, make sure you have:

• A host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly configured in the host computer:

• Parallel SCSI HBA for a parallel SCSI drive

• Serial SCSI HBA for a SAS drive

• Interface components:

• For a parallel SCSI drive, either internal or tabletop, a 68-pin parallel SCSI cable

and terminator

• For a SAS drive, either:

• 7-pin 1x SATA-style interface cable for an internal drive

• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop drive

• Backup application software that supports the tape drive. For a list of the backup

software applications that have been tested with the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive,

please visit our website at:

Unpacking and Inspecting

the Drive 0Although each LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive is inspected and carefully packaged at the

factory, damage can occur in shipment or when the drive is being unpacked.

Observe the handling precautions in Handling Precautions and Installation Guidelines,

and carefully unpack and inspect the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive as follows:

1Visually inspect the shipping container and notify your carrier immediately of any

damage.

2Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable surface and carefully remove the

contents.

3Visually inspect the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive and notify your Quantum

representative immediately of any damage.

4Always save the shipping container and packing materials for any future reshipment.

Installing the Internal LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive

Drive is:

• SCSI ID: 6

• Terminator power: enabled

Configuring the Internal Drive Parallel SCSI ID 0

Each device on the parallel SCSI bus must have its own unique SCSI ID. Use SCSI

configuration jumper pins 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 on the drive back panel to change the

SCSI ID of the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive (see figure 2).

Configuring the Internal Parallel SCSI Terminator Power 0

By default, terminator power is enabled on the internal parallel SCSI LTO-3 Half-Height

Tape Drive. If you use this default setting, then the last device at the end of the parallel

SCSI bus must have either:

• A parallel SCSI bus terminator

• Terminator power enabled

See figure 3 for examples of internal parallel SCSI bus termination.

To disable terminator power, remove the jumper across pins 11 and 12 (see figure 2).

Note: Parallel SCSI controllers and host adapters generally use ID 7. In some systems,

the boot drive uses ID 0 or ID 1. Avoid configuring the LTO-3 Half-Height

Tape Drive to these SCSI IDs.

Power Cables 0

As shown in figure 6 and figure 7, the rear panels of the internal LTO-3 Half-Height Tape

Drives have connectors for:

• Either a 68-pin parallel SCSI or a 7-pin 1x SATA-style serial-attached SCSI (SAS)

interface cable

• A serial library interface cable

• The internal drive DC power cable

Figure 6 Internal SCSI Drive

Connectors

Connect the interface and DC power cables to the internal drive as follows:

1Verify that the system is shut down and the AC power cord is disconnected from the

facility AC power receptacle.

2Depending on the interface configuration of your internal drive:

aFor the parallel SCSI internal drive:

• Attach the internal SCSI interface cable to the 68-pin parallel SCSI connector

on the back of the drive.

Caution: The LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive with the parallel SCSI

interface is a low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI device.

Install it only in LVD environments. Plugging an LVD drive

into a high voltage differential (HVD) bus makes the entire bus

nonfunctional and may permanently damage the drive or

other SCSI devices on the bus.

bFor the SAS internal drive, attach the internal SAS interface cable to the 7-pin 1x

SATA-style SAS connector on the back of the drive.

3If you are installing the internal LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive in a tape library

system, connect the RS-422 serial interface cable to the serial library port on the back

of the drive. (The serial library port is not used on workstation or server systems.)

4Connect the internal drive DC power cable to the DC power connector on the back of

the drive.
