Installing the drive
This section contains information on installing the tape drive in IBM servers and in
other computers.
Installing the drive in IBM servers
The IBM 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive
can be installed in IBM xSeries
®
200, 220, 230, 240, 340 as well as IBM Netfinity 4500R, 5100, 5600, 7100, and 7600.
It can also be installed externally via a 3551001, or a 3510020, to IBM xSeries 330 or
Netfinity 6000R or 8500R. Refer to the documentation that comes with the server
for instructions on installing the tape drive.
General installation instructions
Follow these steps to install the tape drive in other computers.
Step 1. Selecting a SCSI ID
Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. You can select a SCSI ID
from 0 to 6 for the tape drive. The SCSI ID must be supported by your SCSI
adapter. Refer to your SCSI adapter documentation for the range and relative
priority of the IDs supported. The tape drive is shipped with the SCSI ID preset to
3.
Follow these guidelines to select a SCSI ID:
v Assign the tape drive to one of the higher priority IDs available (0–6).
v Assign the lower priority ID numbers (8-15) to those devices that are most often
used or are faster than other devices in the chain.
v Do not assign an ID of 7, because this is usually used as the SCSI adapter ID.
Depending on your computer, there are several ways to view your current SCSI
ID settings:
2. This tape drive can be installed on a single-ended (SE) SCSI device chain, but doing so might limit the performance of the drive.
3. SCSI termination might be provided with your computer or SCSI adapter. Refer to the documentation that comes with your
computer or SCSI adapter for more information.
2
100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive: User’s Guide
v For many IBM computers, press F1 during the startup after the memory check
completes. Other adapters show SCSI settings when you press Ctrl A. Check the
documentation that comes with your computer or SCSI adapter for information
on how to view configuration information.
v Use SCSI adapter utility programs, if available.
v Inspect the installed SCSI devices to see how the jumpers that determine the IDs
are set.
Step 2. Preparing for installation
To prepare for installation:
1. Unpack the tape drive and store the packaging. You will need the packaging if
you return the drive for service.
2. If you are installing the drive in an external storage enclosure, turn off the
enclosure.
3. Turn off all attached devices.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Disconnect all cables from the computer and all attached devices; then open the
computer. For specific information on opening your computer, refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer.
Attention: Tape drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. The drive is wrapped in a static-protective bag to
prevent damage.
6. Before opening the static-protective bag containing the tape drive, touch the
bag to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds.
Remove the drive from the static-protective bag. If you must put the drive
down, place the drive on the static-protective bag. Do not touch any exposed
components of the tape drive. Instead, handle it carefully by the edges.
Step 3. Setting the SCSI ID
Refer to the following diagram when setting the SCSI ID.
Installation and user’s guide

1SCSI connector
2SCSI ID connector
3Power connector
Note:
1. When setting the SCSI ID, use the jumpers that come with the tape drive.
2. If your enclosure uses a remote SCSI ID switch, remove the jumpers from the jumper pins on the tape drive and
connect the remote switch.
1. Set the SCSI ID.
a. Locate the SCSI ID connector 2.
b. Decide on the SCSI ID number you want before you attach the SCSI bus
cable to the host. Make sure that the ID number you want is not already
being used by another device.
c. Find the jumper pin setting that corresponds to the SCSI ID number you
choose; then place jumper pins on the SCSI ID blocks as shown. You can
use a pair of flat-nose pliers to place the jumpers on the jumper pins.
2. Terminate the SCSI bus by adding the appropriate (LVD or SE) terminator to
the last connector on the SCSI bus.
Step 4. Mounting the drive
Mount the tape drive; then attach the SCSI and power cables to it. If there is
insufficient working space to attach the connectors after mounting the drive, attach
the cables first. To mount the drive, follow these steps:
1. Locate an available 5.25-inch bay or space in your computer to mount the tape
drive. Remove the cover plate from the bay selected. Place the drive
horizontally or vertically.
2. Attach mounting hardware to drive (if applicable).
3. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing.
When you mount the tape drive, follow these guidelines:
v Ensure that no objects such as screw heads, cables, or adjacent devices are
pressing against the frame.
v Ensure that nothing blocks the ventilation slots on the bottom and rear of the
tape drive.
Attention: Use only the screws that come with the tape drive. Other screws
might be too long and can cause damage to the drive.
4. Insert a screw through each of the drive-bay holes into the threaded holes in
the drive and tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive: User’s Guide
Step 5. Attaching cables
To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive:
1. Locate the SCSI cable on your computer (a 68-pin ribbon cable with one end
connected to the SCSI adapter) and find the next available connector that is
farthest from the adapter. Use all empty bus connectors beginning with the one
farthest from the adapter to ensure better signal quality.
Note: The SCSI adapter might be part of the computer system board or might be an adapter installed in an
expansion slot.
2. Attach the SCSI cable from your computer to the tape drive 68-pin SCSI
connector1. The SCSI cable connector at the end of the SCSI cable will attach
to the drive only one way. Do not force the cable onto the drive.
Attention: Do not force the power cable into the tape drive power connector. If the power cable is upside down
and you force the connection, you might damage the drive.
3. Connect the power cable connector 2to the four-pin connector on the tape
drive as shown in the illustration. If all the power cables are in use, purchase a
dc Y-splitter cable, which is available at most electronics stores. Split a cable to
make a connection available for the tape drive.
Step 6. Completing the installation
Check your work before closing the computer.
1. Be sure that the power and SCSI connectors are securely attached. Be sure that
the cables are neatly routed.
Installation and user’s guide

2. Replace the computer cover and secure it in place. Reconnect the power cords
and cables.
Step 7. Turning on the device
Turn on all attached devices; then turn on your computer. The tape drive performs
a power-on self-test (POST) within 15 seconds and then performs a drive reset.
Step 8. Updating the configuration
For most computers, the configuration-setup utility program automatically
recognizes the new tape drive. However, you might have to provide information
about your system changes after you restart your computer.
Ensure that the appropriate advanced SCSI programming interface (ASPI) device
drivers are installed to support the tape drive. Device drivers are usually provided
with the SCSI adapter.
If your computer does not recognize the tape drive after startup or if you receive
startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program as described in the
documentation that comes with your computer. If all the indicators on either side
of the tape drive blink in unison, there is a problem with the tape drive. Press the
Unload button on the right side of the drive front panel to eject any tape that
might be inserted and to reset the drive. If the problem persists, turn off the
computer; then turn it back on. If the problem continues, see “Appendix D.
Troubleshooting” on page 17 for further steps.
Step 9. Installing backup and restore software
To use the drive, you must install an appropriate backup and restore application
for your computer operating system. If you are using software not included in the
option package, follow the directions that come with your software. If you are
using the trial software that comes with the option, insert a trial application CD
into the CD-ROM drive and follow the on-screen installation and operating
instructions.
If you are using the hardware installation support that your operating system
provides, and the operating system requests a device driver, insert the User’s
Guide CD and look in the ‘‘device driver’’ folder.

accidental erasure. Slide the switch to the right to write-protect2or to the left to
enable writing.
Resetting the drive
The reset procedure rewinds the tape and clears the buffer of previous tape drive
commands and data. To reset the tape drive, insert a paper clip into the emergency
reset button on the front of the device, or turn the computer off and back on again.
When reset, all front LEDs turn on and then off, with the top green LED remaining
on to indicate a ready condition.
If you reset the tape drive while a cartridge is loaded, the tape rewinds to the
beginning. The reset might take as long as 2 minutes if the tape is positioned near
the end. After the drive has been reset, tape operation starts from the beginning of
the data cartridge. After resetting the drive, restart your backup tape software.
Packing the drive for shipping
Attention: To avoid damaging the tape drive, use the original shipping materials when you ship it. Your proof of
purchase might be required to receive warranty service. If you are returning the tape drive for service, remove and
keep all cartridges, cables, and terminators.
If you are shipping the tape drive to another location or returning it for repair,
pack the tape drive in its original shipping container and packing materials.

Appendix A. Maintenance
You need to perform regular maintenance on your 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal
Tape Drive. This section explains how to care for the tape cartridges and how to
clean the drive head.
Caring for tape cartridges
The following points are guidelines for storing and using the cartridges:
v Do not open the tape access door of the cartridge or touch the tape itself.
v Keep your cartridges away from sources of electromagnetic fields, such as
telephones, dictation equipment, mechanical or printing calculators, motors, and
bulk erasers. Do not place the cartridges on the computer monitor or on the base
unit of the computer.
v Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as radiators or
warm air ducts.
v Keep cartridges free of moisture. Do not wet or submerge cartridges in any
liquid.
v Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes.
Cleaning cartridges
You must use Ultrium cleaning cartridges with Ultrium tape drives, as other
cleaning cartridges will not load and run. A cleaning cartridge is supplied with
each tape drive and should only be used when the ‘Use Cleaning Cartridge’ amber
LED is flashing. Insert the cleaning cartridge and the drive will carry out its
cleaning cycle and eject the cartridge on completion (which can take up to 5
minutes). During the cleaning cycle the amber ‘Use Cleaning Cartridge’ LED will
light solidly and the green ‘Ready‘ LED will flash.
Each cleaning cartridge can be used up to 15 times. If the cleaning cartridge is
ejected immediately with the ‘Tape Error‘ LED on, it has expired. New cleaning
cartridges are available from your supplier, and can be ordered following the
insert-card instructions that come with the cleaning cartridge.

100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive: User’s Guide
Appendix B. Tape handling
This section describes how to properly handle your tape cartridges to reduce wear
on the 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive.
Tape handling and storage
Most tapes are supplied in sealed cartridges. Tapes are provided this way so that
the tape will remain in a clean environment. Opening the cartridge enables dirt
and airborne particles to enter and contaminate the cartridge. The cartridge must
only be opened by the tape drive and not by an operator. The tape is also held
under proper tension inside the cartridge. If the cartridge is dropped, this tension
is relaxed. Inserting a dropped cartridge into a tape drive can often cause a
misload that results in a jam. The jam ruins the tape and can cause physical
damage if the cartridge is not removed properly. When you store tapes, place them
in their protective containers and store them on their ends. Store the tapes in a
clean, dry area at normal room temperature and away from magnetic fields.
Environmental issues
The operating environment might adversely affect tape drive operation. The tape
drive is designed to operate in a clean environment. When tape is installed in a
tape drive, the clearance between the heads and the tape is measured in microns.
Even particles of smoke are larger than the space available between the tape and
the heads. Other environmental factors that adversely affect tape drive operation
are dirt, dust, fibers, and airborne particles. Ensure that you operate in a clean
environment.
Tape drive cleaning
Even if the operating environment is clean, dirt might build up on the heads of
any tape drive. Every time tape motion occurs, some of the media surface comes
off on the heads. Over time, this material builds up, causing the tape head
clearance to increase. The increased tape head clearance produces reading and
writing errors. Most tape drives today have a built-in cleaning indicator to notify
you when the tape needs cleaning.
Do not use any non-LTO cleaning cartridges with these tape drives. You can use
cleaning cartridges only for a limited number of times. A cleaning cartridge is
expired after it has been used for the maximum number of times as indicated.
When a cleaning cartridge is expired, you must replace it. Never reuse an expired
cleaning cartridge. If you continue to use an expired cleaning cartridge, you might
reintroduce dirt to the tape drive and you might not clean the drive. To make sure
that you know when your cleaning cartridge expires, make a notation on the
cleaning cartridge each time you clean the tape drive.

Appendix D. Troubleshooting
The first step in problem solving is establishing whether the problem lies with the
cartridge, the drive, the host computer and its connections, the backup software or
with the way the system is being operated. If none of the following advice helps
you solve the problem, contact your supplier.
The computer does not restart after installation
Possible reason
Recommended action
You have connected the tape drive to an existing SCSI
bus that has other devices connected to it and the SCSI
address of your drive is identical to the address used by
another device.
Make sure that each device on the SCSI bus has a unique
ID.
For best results, connect the tape drive to a dedicated
host bus adapter. Do not connect the drive to a disk
RAID controller.
You have installed an additional SCSI host bus adapter
Remove the new host bus adapter and check the server
and its resources are conflicting with an existing adapter. documentation.
You have disconnected the power or SCSI cable from the Check that the cables to all devices are firmly connected.
computer start disk during the drive installation process.
The computer starts but does not recognize the tape drive
Possible reason
Recommended action
The power or SCSI cable is not connected properly.
Check that the cables to the tape drive are firmly
connected. Ensure that the SCSI cable is LVD-compliant
and that it does not have any bent pins. Replace if
necessary.
The SCSI bus is not terminated correctly.
Check that the SCSI bus is actively terminated. (Refer to
the documentation for your SCSI controller and any
other SCSI devices you have).
The SCSI ID address of the tape drive is not unique.
Make sure that each device connected to the SCSI
controller has a unique SCSI ID. Remember that 7 is
normally reserved for the host bus adapter.
The application does not recognize the tape drive
Possible reason
Recommended action
The application does not support the tape drive.
Refer to your manufacturer’s World Wide Web site for
details of backup applications that support the Ultrium
tape drive. Load any service packs as necessary.
Some applications require drivers to be loaded.
Check that the correct SCSI and tape drive drivers are
installed. Consult the installation notes of the backup
application for details.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2001
17
The drive does not work
Possible reason
Recommended action
If the drive does not turn on, the power cable might not
be connected to the drive correctly.
Make sure that the power cable is firmly connected. Try
another power cable. If the power supply is present and
all LEDs remain off, try the reset button to power cycle
the drive. If this fails, call for assistance.
If the self-test fails, there might be a hardware or
firmware failure.
If there is a cartridge in the drive, remove it. Turn off the
drive and turn it on again. If the self-test still fails, call
for assistance.
Post-installation troubleshooting
Remember that the system recognizes devices during start-up. If you swap or
connect a product when your system is running, you will need to restart the
system. Restarting the system will reset devices and will often resolve problems.
Restart the computer every time you add a driver or install firmware.
Understanding LEDs
Your tape drive has four LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel, which
indicate drive status. These LEDs provide useful troubleshooting information.
The tape drive performs a power-on self-test whenever power is applied or the
drive is reset. The test takes about 5 seconds.
The green Ready light and the three amber lights for the other LEDs flash briefly
and then go out.
The green Ready LED flashes and then remains on if the drive passes the self-test.
If the self-test fails, the Drive Error and Tape Error LEDs flash, while the Ready
and Use Cleaning Cartridge LEDs are off. This continues until the drive is reset.
Use the following table to interpret the LED sequences and the appropriate action
to take.
Symptom
Action
Drive fails to execute power-on self-test. LEDs remain
off.
Check power is being supplied to the drive.
Try another power connector.
If the power supply is present and all LEDs remain off,
call for service.
Drive fails to execute power-on self-test. The Drive Error
and Tape Error LEDs flash, while the Ready and Use

This Statement of Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 - Country-unique
Terms. The terms of Part 2 may replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties
provided by IBM in this Statement of Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for
your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term ″Machine″ means an
IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any
combination of them. The term ″Machine″ does not include any software programs,
whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM
specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire
the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact
IBM or your reseller.
Machine - 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive
Warranty period* - Three years
* Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service
depending on the country where service is performed.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications. The
warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date
of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM
or your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide
warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine,
without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will
manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM
or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that
is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and
your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in
good working order.

Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from
misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,
improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not
responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts
identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER
THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those regarding Machine
set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY
KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or IBM. In the
United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. (In
Toronto, call 416-383-3344.) You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service, either
at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore them to,
conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the
available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. IBM
may repair the failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM
or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours.
You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement
may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service
status of the replaced item.
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed
on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered
Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature,
conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the
24
100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive: User’s Guide
removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will
assume the warranty service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations, and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to
IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from
the Machine prior to its return.
Production Status
Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In
some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed.
Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s appropriate warranty terms
apply.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or
tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S.
$100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12
months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum
for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS
OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
