Overview
The Sony SDX-900V series drives are high capacity data storage devices
using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-900V series
drives achieve high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional
level of Error Correction Code, and other features.
The Sony SDX-900V series drives store data on tape using standard
formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC.

Introduction
About AIT Drives
SDX-900V series drives are internal AIT drive units that use data cartridges
conforming to the AIT-4 format.
Features
The SDX-900V series drives have the following features:
•Support reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-4
format.
•The Read-After-Write Function and third-level error correction code
guarantee high data reliability.
•Data compression provides 520 gigabytes of storage on 246 m tape-
length cartridge.*1
The native capacity is 200 gigabytes of storage on 246 m tape-length
cartridge.
•Stored data is automatically checked for compression.
• Ultra 160 Wide SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host
computer access.
*1 This is assuming 2.6 : 1 compression ratio.
The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to
system environment and data type.

Precautions
Useable Cartridges
SDX-900V series can be used with data and cleaning cartridges marked
with the AIT-4 logo.
Notes
•Be sure to use only data cartridges designed specifically for AIT (do not use 8 mm
video cartridges) as this may damage the drives.
•Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can damage the
AIT drive. Although commercially available 8mm videotapes resemble AIT cartridges
in appearance, they have entirely different specifications and cannot be used.
Installation
Avoid placing the drives in locations subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
– mechanical shock and vibration
–direct sunlight
*For details, see “Specifications” on page 26.
Operation
• Do not move the drives while they are operating. It may cause
malfunctions.
• Avoid exposing the drives to sudden changes from low to high
temperatures. This may cause condensation to collect inside the drives. If
the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drives are turned
on, turn them off and wait at least one hour before turning them back on.
If you attempt to operate the drives immediately after a sudden increase
in temperature, malfunctions may occur.
•Turning off the power to the drives while they are writing to tape may
cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated
parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drives is cycled.

Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the
drives.
•Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drives. After
removing the drives from the computer, repack them into their original
packing.
SCSI Termination
The SDX-900V series drives conform to the Microsoft PC97 standard,
which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external
terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements
SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external cable ends are
instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
