power cord connector and plug the other end of the

power cord into an AC outlet.

2Power on the tape drive using the switch on the rear panel

(see figure 1).

Figure 1 Check the Tabletop

Ta p e D r i v e

The tape drive performs a self-diagnostic test, called a Power-

on Self-Test (POST), each time you power it on. During POST,

each LED lights in sequence. When POST has completed

successfully, the middle LED stops flashing and remains

illuminated and the left and right LEDs remain off.

Connecting the Tabletop Tape Drive 0

Connect the tabletop tape drive to the host computer through

the network port:

1Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the network port

located on the rear of the tape drive.

2Connect the other end to a network switch or router (see

figure 2).

SDLT 600A Tape Drive Quick Start Guide

Configuring the SDLT 600A Tape Drive 0

The only software required on your system is the Java Plug-in.

The Java Plug-in is the virtual machine software that allows

the execution of Java applets.

The Java Plug-in 0

The Java FTP client needs the Java Virtual Machine to run. This

Java Plug-in is provided by Sun Microsystems.

The Java FTP client will install immediately. When you load the

Java FTP client for the first time, a display window may ask you

to download and install the Java plug-in. If you need that plug-

in you can just follow the instructions on the screen or go to

www.java.com to download it.

If you have Java Plug-in version 1.5 or later or the Java

Runtime Environment version 1.5 or later installed on your

computer, you should not need to download new software.

The plug-in should activate on your Web browser automatically

once installed. For Mac OSX, the supported JRE version is 1.4.2.

Configuration Options 0

There are several options available when configuring the

SDLT 600A within your network. Select the best solution based

on the diagram presented in figure 6.

A sample Windows configuration is provided as follows.

For Windows 0

The host IP configuration may have to be modified to

communicate with the drive.

1Go to Network Connections and click the LAN icon.

2Go to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connection and click

Properties (see figure 7).

6Type in the IP address of the drive (http://10.10.10.10) in

the address line of the browser.

Using the FTP Client 0

The SDLT 600A Client/FTP client allows you to transfer files to

and from the tape drive, partially restore MXF files, and view

the MXF metadata.

In the SDLT 600A main page, click SDLT 600A Client, then FTP

client.

SDLT 600A Tab 0

SDLT 600A is the main tab view with a standard FTP client

interface, providing two file panes. The left pane displays your

local disk directory and the right pane shows the SDLT 600A

directory.

When loaded, the FTP client connects you to the SDLT 600A

server when the login name (root) and password (password)

are correctly entered. You can rename or reset the login and

password from the Configuration tab menu.

Once connected, you can choose Local instead of the SDLT

600A server to disconnect the FTP client.

Figure 9 SDLT 600A/FTP Client

File Panes 0

There are three text zones on the top of each pane:

• The first zone allows you to select the system or

server.

• The second zone allows you to select the drive (only

available on Local).

• The third zone displays the currently navigated path

and allows you to type the path within the address

bar.

The panes can be local or remote views and you can interact

with the system as follows:

• Double-click a folder to expand it to view the enclosed

folders and files

• Double-click a folder at the top followed by leader

dots that lead toward the parent folder

• Click an item (file or folder) to select it

•Use<Ctrl>for non-continuous and <Shift>for

continuous item selection

•Use<Ctrl + A> to select all files and folders

NOTE:If you require additional assistance when changing

IP settings, you may need to consult either your

network administrator or an authority on IP policies

and standards.

CAUTION:Any change of the IP address could result in the

loss of the device; always double-check that the IP

number is entered correctly

Enter the IP address

SDLT 600A Tape Drive Quick Start Guide

•UseF2 is supported (allows you to edit the name

of the selected file)

• Right-click to see the Contextual menu

(<Ctrl>+right-click under Mac OSX)

• Click the column headings to change the sorting

order

File Transfers 0

The SDLT 600A FTP client allows you to transfer files from a:

• Local PC to/from a SDLT 600A server

• Local PC to/from a non-SDLT 600A server (e.g.

Filezilla)

• SDLT 600A server to/from a non-SDLT 600A server

• SDLT 600A server to/from another SDLT 600A server

(FXP transfer)

To transfer files, select one or more items in one pane, then

drag and drop them to the other pane. You can also transfer

files within folders of the same pane, local or remote (e.g.

into the SDLT 600A FTP server or into another FTP server).

When transferring files of 4 MB and larger, transfer rates up

to 36 MB/sec native may be achieved. When transferring

files of less than 4 MB, you may see degraded drive transfer

rates.

Once a transfer is initiated, the bars show the transfer

progress—when the indicator is moving back and forth, the

tape is seeking, and once data copying actually begins the

bar shows the progress.

The queue lists the files to transfer as well as the status of

the transfer. By selecting a file from the list and then right-

clicking it, you can:

• Start the transfer queue

• Stop the file transfer

• Remove the file from the list

• Retry the operation

• Display the file transfer properties

NOTE:The maximum storage capacity of the

SuperDLTtape II data cartridge is 300GB.

NOTE:Canceling a transfer aborts it. Skipping a transfer

cancels the current file transfer. The sequence of file

transfers continues if there are other files in the

transfer queue.

File Transfer Stopped 0

A sequence of file transfers using the built-in FTP client

stops when a file is reserved by the FTP client file system or

the file name contains characters not supported.

Duplicate File Name 0

When you transfer a file and there is already a file with the

same name in the destination, there is a conflict and the

following window displays:

Figure 10 File Exist

•Overwrite/Overwrite all — Erases the file already on

the target and copies the new file in its place.

•Skip/Skip all— Continues the transfer for other

selected files without overwriting the specified file(s).

NOTE:When you overwrite a file, it is not erased

from the tape, because the tape drive appends

data only (unless the file to overwrite is the last

file stored on the tape). However it is not

possible to access the overwritten file (unless the

file to overwrite is the last file stored on the

tape).

NOTE:The SDLT 600A does not support Resume.

SDLT 600A Tape Drive Quick Start Guide

Formatting Media Cartridges 0

1Insert the media cartridge into the tape drive.

When the tape drive recognizes an unformatted or new

media cartridge, a prompt appears (see figure 11)

when connected to the FTP client.

2Click Yes.

Figure 11 Media Formatting

CAUTION:When formatting with the SDLT 600A

tape drive, all existing data on the media

cartridge will be overwritten.

NOTE:The initial formatting of a media cartridge

takes approximately 30 – 40 seconds.
