AC Power cord: (for AC mains

operating unit only)

The AC power cord should have

appropriate safety approvals or

marking for the country in which the

equipment will be used. Consult your

dealer or local power company.

Cleaning –Unplug the unit from the

wall outlet before cleaning or

polishing it. Do not use liquid

cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Use a cloth lightly dampened with

water for cleaning the exterior of the

unit.

Object and Liquid Entry –Never

push objects of any kind into the unit

through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out

parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of

any kind on the unit.

INSTALLATION

Water and Moisture –Do not use

power-line operated units near water -

for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry

tub, in a wet basement, or near a

swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection –Route the

power cord so that it is not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying

particular attention to the plugs,

receptacles, and the point where the

cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories –Do not place the unit on

an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

or table. The unit may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or an adult,

and serious damage to the unit. Use

only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or

table recommended by the

manufacturer.

Ventilation –The slots and openings

in the cabinet are provided for

necessary ventilation. To ensure

reliable operation of the unit, and to

protect it from overheating, these slots

and openings must never be blocked or

covered.

• Never cover the slots and openings

with a cloth or other materials.

• Never block the slots and openings

by placing the unit on a bed, sofa,

rug or other similar surface.

• Never place the unit in a confined

space, such as a bookcase, or built-

in cabinet, unless proper ventilation

is provided.

SERVICE

Damage Requiring Service –Unplug

the unit from the wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following

conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is

damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects

have fallen into the unit.

• If the unit has been exposed to rain

or water.

• If the unit has been subject to

excessive shock by being dropped,

or the cabinet has been damaged.

• If the unit does not operate normally

when following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are specified in the

operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the

unit to normal operation.

• When the unit exhibits a distinct

change in performance - this

indicates a need for service.

Servicing –Do not attempt to service

the unit yourself as opening or

removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer to all servicing to qualified

service personnel.

Overview

The Sony SDX-500V and SDX-400V drives are high capacity data storage

devices using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-500V

and SDX-400V drives achieve high data reliability through Read-After-

Write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-500V and SDX-400V drives store data on tape using

standard formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC

formats.

Introduction

About AIT Drives

The SDX-500V is an internal AIT drive unit that uses data cartridges

conforming to the AIT-2 format. The SDX-400V is an internal AIT drive

unit that uses data cartridges conforming to the AIT-1 format. The SDX-

500V supports AIT-1 and AIT-2 formats. The SDX-400V supports only

AIT-1 format.

Features

The AIT Drive Unit SDX-500V has the following features:

•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-1

and AIT-2 formats.

•Read After Write Function and third-level error correction code

guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 130 gigabytes of storage on 230 m tape-

length cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 50 gigabytes of storage on 230 m tape-length

cartridge.

•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.

•Wide Ultra SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host computer

access.

The AIT Drive Unit SDX-400V has the following features:

•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-1

format.

•Read After Write Function and third-level error correction code

guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 91 gigabytes of storage on 230 m tape-length

cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 35 gigabytes of storage on 230 m tape-length

cartridge.

•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.

•Wide Ultra SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host computer

access.

*1 This is assuming 2.6 : 1 compression ratio.

The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to

system environment and data type.

Precautions

Installation

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:

–high humidity

–high temperature

–mechanical shock and vibration

–direct sunlight

*For details, see “Specifications”on page 27.

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

temperatures. 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 safe transportation of the

drive.

•Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drive. After

removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original

packing.

SCSI Termination

The SDX-500V and SDX-400V conform to the Microsoft PC97 standard

which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an internal

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.
