The GT Series is a cross-functional line of FireWire-based storage

subsystems designed for mobility and easy expansion:

GT Key - A hot-swappable FireWire Drive

GT 050 - A Fixed-Mount FireWire Tabletop Drive

GT 051 - A Tabletop One-bay enclosure for GT Key drives

GT 103 - A One-space Thee-bay enclosure for GT Key drives

GT 060BR - A FireWire 800 Hardware RAID 0 Tabletop Drive

GT 205- A Two-space Five-bay enclosure

GT 050Q - A Tabletop Drive with FireWire 400, 800, USB and eSATA

GT 205

Quick Guide #610019-1.02 Glyph’s GT Series

The GT Series incorporates Glyph’s own advanced FireWire

technology called Integrity™. Inspired by the limitations of existing

hybrid ATA-to-FireWire hot-swap products, Glyph engineers resolved

the data integrity problems that arise from breaking at the ATA

interface by incorporating unique enhancements to existing FireWire

standards. As a result, the GT Key drive cartridge contains the

ATA-to-FireWire bridging technology in the cartridge itself. When

removing a hard drive from the receiver, the drive and its bridge

remain together to support hard drive hot-swapping in the proper

way—using circuits and protocols that are intended for hot-swap

applications. The GT Series sets new standards as Glyph’s Integrity™

technology surpasses today’s other hot-swappable storage.

FireWire is an implementation of the IEEE 1394 serial bus standard. It

not only supports automatic configuration ("plug and play") and

hot-swapping of devices, it’s fast, and best of all it’s reliable for

audio/video as well as for computer peripherals.

FireWire supports peripherals in a tree-like structure, as opposed to

SCSI's linear structure. It allows peer-to-peer device communication—

e.g. between a scanner and a printer—to take place, without using

system memory or the CPU.

With FireWire you don’t have to worry about IDs or device

termination; you can hook up to 63 devices to the same bus, with cable

lengths of up to 4.5 meters (14 feet) including internal cabling, allowed

between devices.

Its cable is not only more convenient than SCSI’s but can also carry

power. This allows low-consumption devices to operate without a

separate power cord, by using power supplied by other devices on the

bus.

Noise Control

Elimination of Signal noise

Components in GT Series enclosures are of the highest quality

possible. These include:

• Heavy-gauge internal power cabling to carry current with minimal loss

• Bridge circuit boards designed to provide extra functions and top

performance

• High-quality data cables to maintain signal integrity at high data

rates

We use Teflon ribbon cables in our GT Series FireWire solutions

because Teflon is the best insulator for minimizing cross-talk and

maintaining high-frequency signal integrity. Good insulation

maintains signal quality. Maintaining signal quality ensures maximum

data transfer rates.

Elimination of Acoustic Noise

GT Series enclosures and the GT Key incorporate sound-damping

metal to support quiet recording by virtually eliminating noise caused

by the vibrations of hard drives and fans.

This material is a constrained-layer composite—a laminate formed of

two layers of metal sandwiching a viscoelastic polymer core. Vibration

felt by the metal layers is dampened by the softer center layer: the

deformation of the core facilitates the absorption of vibrational

energy. The combination of quiet metal and secure fastening with

sturdy steel mounting hardware helps to ensure a still, quiet

environment for your recording sessions.

Quick Guide #610019-1.02 About the GT 205

Power

Glyph uses efficient, high-quality power supplies, selected specifically

for the demands of production environments.

Our power supplies have a large amount of headroom, so your Glyph

system will function, for brief periods of time, with AC lines

significantly below specified limits.

Glyph FireWire devices, even when they’re not turned on, will pass

signal and bus power through to downstream FireWire devices.

Glyph’s FireWire solutions are 100% compliant with FireWire

specifications for reliable operation using FireWire’s repeater

functionality.

About the GT 205

The GT 205 is a double-space five-bay FireWire enclosure. It can be

configured with four GT Key hot-swappable FireWire drives in any

available capacities, and its SCSI/FireWire expansion bay offers the

option of AIT backup, SCSI or FireWire hot-swap receiving bay,

DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW. The four standard GT Key FireWire

hot-swap drive bays on the GT 205 are connected together using an

internal FireWire hub, and have two out-facing FireWire ports, which

are the lower connectors on the rear of the chassis. If the device in the

expansion bay is SCSI, it uses two SCSI connectors on the rear of the

chassis. If the expansion bay device is FireWire, it uses two additional

FireWire ports on the rear of the chassis. The expansion bay ports are

always the upper ports on the back of the chassis.

About the GT Key

The GT Key is at the heart of the GT Series. Fully hot-swappable using

Glyph's proprietary Integrity™ FireWire interface, you can easily

shuttle content to other GT Series enclosures with the 7,200 RPM GT

Key. Utilizing a high-performance hard drive and Glyph's tri-laminate

sound-damping technology, a GT Key is not only fast, but it's quiet

too.

Integrity™ is an advanced FireWire hot-swap interface that provides

greater reliability than existing hybrid to ATA-to-FireWire products.

This offers true hard drive hot-swap technology, ensuring data

integrity and consistency: removing a hot-swap drive from a Glyph

FireWire system interrupts the data signal at the FireWire bus, not on

the ATA bus as with other hot-swap systems.
