Safety Information

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous

voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the

system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet

is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power

cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,

ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before

the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power

cables from the existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables

to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different

electrical potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations,

printers, telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

viii 4mm DDS-2 Tape Autoloader Installation and User's Guide

Chapter 1. Overview

The 4mm DDS-2 Tape Autoloader is a digital tape backup-and-restore system that is

designed to hold up to six 120m tape cartridges in a removable magazine. The

autoloader can back up as much as 8GB of data on a single cartridge in about 2

hours or 48GB of data overnight without operator intervention.

The Autoloader implements DDS**-2 (Digital Data Storage-2) format and supports two

data-access modes:

sequential

and

random

. High-speed file retrieval and tape

swapping allow fast access to any file.

Note: There are 2 versions of the 4mm DDS-2 Tape Autoloader. This installation

and user's guide shows the tape autoloader in the horizontal mounting position.

Depending on your system unit type/model the tape autoloader may need to be

mounted in its vertical position. Note the only difference between the versions is the

front bezel printing and the LCD.
