The terminating resistors can be provided with power by the drive or the SCSI bus. Termination power via the streamer = TERM POWER inserted TERMPOWER Termination power via other SCSI devices = TERM POWER not inserted TERM POWER jumper not inserted = power supply from SCSI bus i The terminating resistors of the SCSI bus should be as far as possible provided by the SCSI adapter (add-on card or onboard). This is the default setting (TERM POWER not inserted) of the streamer. Termination/terminating resistor The last device at both ends of the SCSI bus must be equipped with a terminating resistor. Devices that are not connected to the end of the SCSI bus must not be terminated. If you run the streamer as the last device on the SCSI bus, you must connect an active terminating resistor to the SCSI interface of the streamer. The active wide SCSI terminating resistor can either already have been integrated in the SCSI cable or be connected as a separate connector. i A passive or SE terminating resistor is not allowed. A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 English - 9 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Mounting the streamer The streamer requires a 5 ¼" mounting location of half height. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically. ► Switch off the system and open the casing. ► If required, attach the mounting rails. ► Set the correct SCSI ID. ! SCSI ID 7 is used by the SCSI-Controller, don’t set this ID. The preset SCSI address is 6. ► Mount the streamer into the system. ► Attach the SCSI cable to the SCSI adapter (add-on card or onboard) or to the SCSI backplane (periphery box, e.g. SX10). ! Ensure that the SCSI bus operates in LVD mode. Some SCSI controller allow the connection of devices to SE and LVD/SE. Connect in such a case the SCSI cable always to the LVD/SE connector, never to the SE connector (see the Quick Start Guide) SCSI Bus mode SE (Single Ended) is not allowed and leads to losses speed and to exceeding abrasion of the streamer and magnetic tape cartridges. Mounting position The streamer can be installed either in a horizontal or in a vertical different position.

Only use this procedure if the magnetic tape cartridge cannot be ejected any other way! ● If the cartridge ejection in emergency operation does not work, please contact your Service Hotline. The cartridge can now only be removed by opening the streamer. ● The streamer must be opened only by authorized service personnel. Improperly opening will cause mechanical damage. A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 English - 13 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Handling magnetic tape cartridges The magnetic tape streamer reads and writes the following magnetic tape cartridges: – Ultrium-1 100GB/200GB (read only) – Ultrium-2 200GB/400GB – Ultrium-3 400GB/800GB – Ultrium-3 400GB/800GB WORM (write once) For cleaning you can use the universal LTO cleaning cartridges. Magnetic tapes are subject to quality fluctuations. i Ask the Service Hotline which tape manufacturers should be preferably be used. Initializing /deleting magnetic tape cartridges The backup application allows you to initialize and to delete of the cartridge. This is necessary: – when you use a new cartridge – when you want to delete data – when you have to initialize a cartridge after an error. How to effect an Initialization or deletion, see the description of your backup application. Loading a cartridge Ê Ê Lift the front door of the streamer. Ê Press the magnetic tape cartridge completely into the drive until the streamer draws in and loads the cartridge. Insert the magnetic tape cartridge with the white arrow upwards and in the direction to the front door into the drive. The "Ready" indicator is flashing green after insertion and initialization of the tape cartridge. When the cartridge is loaded, the "Ready" indicator is on (green). Streamer is ready-to-operate. ! When inserting the magnetic tape cartridge, make sure the cartridge is inserted correctly. The marking of the cartridge should be at the top in horizontal operation. The arrow also located on the top points to the streamer opening in this case. Incorrect insertions are prevented by the streamer. However, mechanical destruction can result if excessive force is used. The streamer does not have an automatic load function. 14 - English A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Unloading a cartridge Press the control button/function key either briefly (normal operation) or 5 seconds minimum (emergency operation). Ê Commands in wait state are completed in normal operation and buffered data will be written to the tape. Tape operation will be completed appropriately. This may take up to 1 minute. In emergency operation these functions are not guaranteed. Normally, in this case data cannot be repaired. Then the tape is rewound and ejected. This procedure may take up to 10 minutes, depending on the tape cartridge’s position. Remove the cartridge. Ê The unload of the cartridge can be locked with your backup application. ► Unlock the access via your application. Further details you can find in the description of your backup application. ! If the drive fails during a read/write procedure, the unload of the cartridge can be forced by emergency operation. Emergency removal can cause data loss on the magnetic tape cartridge. Only use this procedure if the magnetic tape cartridge cannot be ejected any other way! Using cartridge write protection Write protection should be enabled whenever you wish to protect the tape from accidental overwriting or deletion. When the tape cartridge is write-protected, the system can read data, but can neither overwrite nor delete data. 1 2 ► Slide the write-protection switch to the right or left into the desired position. i When the switch is set to the write-protection position tape. , no data can be written to the When the switch is in the non-write-protected position, data can be written to the tape. A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 English - 15 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Problems with magnetic tape cartridges If you experience any problems using magnetic tape cartridges, check: ● The cartridge case is not intact and that it contains splits, cracks or damage. ● ► The cartridge has not been stored at the correct temperature and humidity. Check whether the inside of the cartridge shows traces of condensation. ● ► The write-protect switch is fully operational. Unlock the write-protect. ● ► The cartridge is not inserted in a wrong way. Insert the cartridge with the correct orientation. ● ► The cartridge does not correspond with the recommended type. Only use cartridges of the recommended type (see chapter "Technical data"). Further information about troubleshooting you can find on the internet under www.fujitsu.siemens.com/support i Emergency reset As a last resort, if the streamer does not react any more or appears to have failed, it can be reset by holding the eject button down for 20 seconds. ► Hold the control button/function key down for 20 seconds minimum. The streamer is reinitialized and makes a self-test. After effective ending of the internal self-test the streamer is ready-to-operate. The streamer does a reset of its internal hardware, including the SCSI port. ! The reset process may take up to 10 minutes to complete. The emergency reset deletes the internal data storage that means data will be lost. If the streamer was writing at the time, data will be lost. Old data which were already written onto the cartridge will be obtained. If the old data cannot be read correctly, delete or reinitialize the cartridge. 16 - English A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Meaning of the LED indicators During operation, the indicators have the following meaning: Indicators (LED) LED "Clean" orange "Tape" orange "Drive" orange OFF OFF OFF OFF Streamer is not ready-tooperate: error in power supply or in connection.

For additional information, refer to the support pages of the operating system or backup application suppliers. Streamer is not ready-to-operate or is not recognized ► Check whether the LED indicators of the streamer are lighting during/after power on the server. If not, check that the power cable to the streamer is properly connected. ► Check whether the LED indicators of the streamer are indicating a failure status. First eliminate this failure status. ► Carry out a self-test of the streamer, if possible. ► For Microsoft Windows operating systems: Check whether a yellow exclamation mark or a red cross is shown in the Device Manager next to a bus adapter or a streamer. If so, uninstall and reinstall the appropriate device drivers. ► For LINUX operating systems: Check whether the streamer is detected after typing dmesg at the terminal console and scrolling through the messages. The system inquiry of the streamer must be registered (see chapter "Software installation" and "Technical data"). ► Check whether the data cable (SCSI, SAS or USB) is properly connected to the bus adapter and streamer, and that none of the pins in the connector are bent. ► For SCSI: Check whether the SCSI cable is connected to the LVD or LVD/SE port of the SCSI bus adapter. ► For SCSI: Depending on the SCSI configuration, an additional SCSI terminator may have to be connected to the end of the SCSI cable. Check if the SCSI terminator is properly connected. ► For SCSI: Check whether the SCSI ID setting is correct. The SCSI ID of the streamer must not be identical with the SCSI ID of the SCSI bus adapter or other SCSI devices. ► Remove the cartridge from the streamer. ► Restart your server and ensure that the streamer will be recognized. The streamer should now be ready for operation. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. 20 - English A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Streamer does not accept a cartridge ► Check whether the streamer is not ready-to-operate or is not recognized. ► Check whether the streamer must be cleaned. To determine this status, check the streamer’s indicator for cleaning. ► Use a new cartridge and check if it is accepted. The streamer should accept the cartridge now. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. Streamer does not eject a cartridge ► Check whether the streamer is executing a “Format Recovery”. Depending on the streamer type, this may take several hours, during which time the status indicator flashes constantly. The cartridge can only be removed after this process is completed. ► Check whether the unload of the cartridge is locked by the backup application. Unlock this if necessary. The streamer should eject the cartridge now. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. The cartridge cannot be written ► Check whether the streamer is not ready-to-operate or is not recognized. ► Check whether the write protection of the cartridge is activated. ► Check whether the streamer must be cleaned. To determine this status, check the streamer’s indicator for cleaning. ► Check whether the cartridge is locked by the backup application. Unlock this if necessary. ► Use a new cartridge and check if it is accepted and if a write process is possible. The streamer should write to the cartridge now. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. Problems with the performance and read/write ► For SCSI: Check that the streamer is connected to the correct SCSI port of the SCSI bus adapter (add-on card or onboard). The streamer should only be connected to the appropriate port (LVD or LVD/SE) with the correct speed (Ultra2, Ultra160 or Ultra320)! ► For USB: Check that the streamer is connected to the correct USB port of the bus adapter (add-on card or onboard). The streamer should only be connected to the USB 2.0 port. ► For USB: Check whether to the USB bus of the USB bus adapter (add-on card or onboard), to which the streamer is connected, USB 1.1 devices are connected to. The streamer is only allowed to operate together with USB 2.0 devices on the same USB bus. ► Check the cartridge block size setting of the streamer. For good performance, the cartridge block size should be set at least to 32 kB (standard setting of most backup applications). For optimum performance, set 64 kB. Please consult the documentation/help of your backup application to determine the setting and how to change it. ► Check whether the streamer must be cleaned. To determine this status, check the streamer’s indicator for cleaning. ► Check that the bus adapter has been configured to ensure that it performs at its maximum performance. For example, check the Windows registry settings for SCSI and SAS block sizes - MaximumSGList setting - for SCSI bus adapter Adaptec 29160 and Fujitsu Siemens D1305.

If the data can be compressed, enable hardware compression on the streamer. If the data cannot be compressed, disable hardware compression on the streamer. Use the backup application to do so. The streamer should now read/write without problems with the expected performance. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. Streamer is not detected by backup application ► Check whether the streamer is not ready-to-operate or is not recognized. ► Check whether you have installed the appropriate device drivers for your streamer (see chapter "Software installation"). ► Check that you are using the latest version, updates and patches of the backup application. ► Check whether Removable Storage Manager service (RSM service) has to be enabled or disabled. ► Check whether you are using the latest version of your backup application and whether you have installed the newest updates and patches. The streamer should now be detected by your backup application. If not, please contact the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hotline. 22 - English A26361-H986-Z100-1-7619 Streamer LTO-3 half height 400GB/800GB SCSI Ultra320 Technical data Dimensions and weight Height: 41 mm Width: 145 mm Length: 206 mm Weight: 1450 g Electrical data Voltage: + 5V ±5% + 12V ±10% Current +5 V +12 V Type: 2,5A • • Permissible ripple • +5 V • +12 V Output: Type: 0,7A < 125 mVss < 200 mVss 13 W Standby 20 W typical for read / write 30 W maximum Environmental conditions of the computer Environment class 3K2/2K2, IEC 721 Permissible temperature • Room approx. during operation • Transport (without media) 10 °C - 40 °C -40 °C - 66 °C °C Condensation during operation must be avoided.
