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,

Overview
The Sony SDX-550V drive is a high capacity data storage device using
Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-550V drive
achieves high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level
of Error Correction Code, and other features.
The Sony SDX-550V drive stores data on tape using standard formats
called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC formats.

Introduction
About AIT Drives
The SDX-550V is an internal AIT drive unit that uses data cartridges
conforming to the AIT-2 Turbo format. The SDX-550V supports AIT-E
Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 and AIT-2 Turbo formats.
Features
The AIT Drive Unit SDX-550V has the following features:
•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-E
Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 and AIT-2 Turbo formats.
• The third-level error correction code guarantee high data reliability.
•Data compression provides 208 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-
length AIT-2 Turbo data cartridge.*1
The native capacity is 80 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-length
AIT-2 Turbo data cartridge.
•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.
• Ultra 160 Wide 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 29.
Operation
•Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from 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 they are 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 data cartridge before moving the drive. After
removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original
packing.
9
Useable Cartridges
The SDX-550V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E
Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-1 or AIT-2 logo.
Notes
•Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT.
•Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can
damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8 mm
videotapes resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely
different specifications and cannot be used.
SCSI Termination
The SDX-550V 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.
