LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Quantum LTO Ultrium tape drives leverage LTO technology and
Quantum-exclusive features to provide the most reliable and affordable tape data protection to medium and large businesses.
Quantum LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives, models TC-L32AX and TC-
L32AN (internal), TC-L32BX and TC-L32BN (tabletop), and TC-L33CX and
TC-L33CN (rackmount), are the most reliable Ultrium drives on the market, delivering reliability features only available from Quantum to extend media life, Variable-speed Transfer to automatically match the host's data transfer rate, and Dynamic Powerdown to protect the drive and media in the event of power loss. Combined with SmartVerify to concurrently verify all data written to the tape, these features make Quantum LTO drives a sound investment and a complete data protection solution.

Before Installing the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive
Handling Precautions and
Installation Guidelines 0
Always observe the following precautions and guidelines when handling and installing
LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives:
• Internal, at all times
• Tabletop, when removed from its free-standing enclosure
Handling Precautions • Internal drives have exposed components that are sensitive to static electricity. To reduce the possibility of damage from static discharge, the drives are packaged in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
• Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or observe similar ESD precautions when working with the drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact.
Do not remove the wrist strap until you finish working with the drive.
Also, avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Before removing the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
• Handle the drive by its sides rather than by the top cover to reduce the risk of dropping the drive or damaging it during installation.
• Either lay the drive on a nonconductive surface or put it back inside the protective antistatic bag to reduce the chance of damage from static discharge
Installation Guidelines • LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drives with the parallel SCSI interface are low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices. Install LVD drives only in LVD environments.
Do not mix LVD and HVD devices on the same parallel
SCSI bus.
• Due to the high speed of the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape
Drive, do not connect more than one LTO-3 drive to the same host bus adapter (HBA).

LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive
Preinstallation
Requirements 0
Before installing the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive, make sure you have:
• A host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly configured in the host computer:
• Parallel SCSI HBA for a parallel SCSI drive
• Serial SCSI HBA for a SAS drive
• Interface components:
• For a parallel SCSI drive, either internal or tabletop, a 68-pin parallel SCSI cable and terminator
• For a SAS drive, either:
• 7-pin 1x SATA-style interface cable for an internal drive
• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop drive
• Backup application software that supports the tape drive. For a list of the backup software applications that have been tested with the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive, please visit our website at: www.quantum.com/support
Unpacking and Inspecting the Drive 0
Although each LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive is inspected and carefully packaged at the factory, damage can occur in shipment or when the drive is being unpacked.
Observe the handling precautions in
Handling Precautions and Installation Guidelines
, and carefully unpack and inspect the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive as follows:
1 Visually inspect the shipping container and notify your carrier immediately of any damage.
2 Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable surface and carefully remove the contents.
3 Visually inspect the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive and notify your Quantum representative immediately of any damage.
4 Always save the shipping container and packing materials for any future reshipment.

Note: Parallel SCSI controllers and host adapters generally use ID 7. In some systems, the boot drive uses ID 0 or ID 1. Avoid configuring the LTO-3 Half-Height
Tape Drive to these SCSI IDs.
Configuring the Internal Parallel SCSI Terminator Power
By default, terminator power is enabled on the internal parallel SCSI LTO-3 Half-Height
Tape Drive. If you use this default setting, then the last device at the end of the parallel
SCSI bus must have either:
• A parallel SCSI bus terminator
• Terminator power enabled
See
for examples of internal parallel SCSI bus termination.
To disable terminator power, remove the jumper across pins 11 and 12 (see figure 2
).

2 Depending on the interface configuration of your tabletop drive: a For the parallel SCSI tabletop drive:
• Attach the SCSI IN interface cable to one of the 68-pin parallel SCSI interface connectors on the back of the drive.
• Attach either the SCSI OUT interface cable or a SCSI terminator to the other parallel SCSI interface connector on the back of the drive.
If the tabletop LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive is the last or only device in a
SCSI chain, you must install a 68-pin low voltage differential (LVD) terminating plug on the unused parallel SCSI connector.
See
figure 11 for tabletop parallel SCSI bus termination examples.
Caution: The LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive with the parallel SCSI interface is a low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI device.
Install it only in LVD environments. Plugging an LVD drive into a high voltage differential (HVD) bus makes the entire bus nonfunctional and may permanently damage the drive or other SCSI devices on the bus.
b For the SAS tabletop drive, attach the external SAS interface cable to the 26-pin
SFF-8088 mini-SAS connector on the back of the drive.

You should also consider the following safety points:
• Install the drive in an enclosure that limits the user’s access to live parts, gives adequate system stability, and provides the necessary grounding for the drive.
• Provide the correct voltages (+5 VDC and +12 VDC) based on the regulation applied—Extra Low Voltage (SEC) for UL and CSA, and Safety Extra Low Voltage for
BSI and VDE (if applicable).
