This addendum is a supplement to the Quantum SuperLoader 3 User’s Guide. It
addresses the specifications and additional instructions that may be required
for the Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader with the Quantum DLT-V4 tape
drive.
For all other information, please refer to the Quantum SuperLoader 3 User’s
Guide.
Overview 0
Data backup is essential to protect irreplaceable information. Backing up data
to magnetic tape is an easy, cost-efficient method used by many small and
medium businesses. However, most enterprises have so much data that a
single backup tape is not enough; the information has to be spread across
numerous tapes. To avoid constantly changing tapes manually, many tape
backup systems include a Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader.
Each autoloader is a robot that includes a tape drive and one or two
magazines for tape cartridges. The user's application can automatically load
and unload tape cartridges as required for data backup or data retrieval.
Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloaders provide a compact, high capacity, but
low cost method for simple, unattended data backup.
The Quantum SuperLoader 3 contains a Quantum DLT-V4 tape drive, a
Quantum LTO-2 half-height tape drive, a Quantum LTO-3 tape drive, a
Quantum VS160 tape drive, or a Quantum SDLT600 tape drive, and one or
two magazines containing up to eight cartridges each. A single cartridge can
be inserted directly via a password-protected mailslot. From the mailslot, the
cartridge can be inserted into the tape drive provided there is no cartridge
already in the drive, or you can load the cartridge into a magazine slot
provided there is no cartridge already in the slot.
The front panel on the autoloader includes a liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen and four function keys. A scrolling menu on the LCD screen allows
you to obtain information from the autoloader and enter commands. The
front panel also includes two light emitting diodes (LEDs) indicating the
autoloader's ready status and error status.
The Quantum SuperLoader 3 connects to your host server via a SCSI
connection allowing the host to send data and commands automatically. You
can also connect to the autoloader using an Ethernet connection to perform
administrative functions and download system updates.

4 Physical Specifications
SuperLoader 3 DLT-V4 0The autoloader is SCSI-3 compatible and operates as a single SCSI ID/two
LUN data storage device. The Quantum SuperLoader 3 DLT-V4 autoloader is
equipped with a Quantum DLT-V4 tape drive and contains up to sixteen DLT
VS1 data cartridges when utilizing two magazines, providing a compressed
capacity of 5.1 Terabytes and a sustained data transfer rate of 36 GB per hour
(native) or as high as 72 GB per hour compressed (assuming 2:1 compression).
The autoloader is compatible with the most popular operating systems and
environments supporting a Ultra 160 SCSI-3 LVD interface but requires direct
support from the operating system or a compatible backup application to take
full advantage of its many features.
