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

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).

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

•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.

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.
