SDX-420/SDX-520 Tape Drive

The Sony SDX-420/SDX-520 series drive is a high capacity data storage

device using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-420

series/SDX-520 series drive achieves high data reliability through Read-

After-Write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other

features.

The Sony SDX-420 series/SDX-520 series drive stores data on tape using a

standard format called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC

formats.

Precautions

Installation

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:

– high humidity

– high temperature

– mechanical shock and vibration

– direct sunlight

Operation

• Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.

• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from a low to high in

temperature. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the

drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is

turned on , wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you

attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in

temperature, a malfunction may occur.

• Turning off the power to the drive while it is writing to tape may cause

the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will

be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.

Transportation

• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate transportation of the

drive.

• Always remove the tape before moving the drive. After removing the

drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packing.
