SDX-500 Tape Drive

The Sony SDX-500 series drive is a high capacity data storage device using

Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-500 series drive

achieves high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level

of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-500 series drive stores data on tape using a standard format

called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC formats.

Introduction

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.

Notice of SCSI Termination

The SDX-500C conforms to the Microsoft PC97 standard which requires

the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator.

Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements

SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external

cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
