UNPACK YOUR Qi DESKTOP LTO SAS

Kit Contents

• Qi Desktop LTO SAS with LTO-6, LTO-7, or LTO-8 drive

• Applicable data tape cartridge (optional)

• Power cord

• Quick-start guide

CONNECTING YOUR Qi

1) Before proceeding, ensure that your computer is powered off and the Qi’s power

switch is set to the off [o] position.

2) Connect a compatible SAS cable to a compatible SAS HBA in your computer and

the other end of the cable to the Qi.

3) Attach the AC power cord to the power

jack on the Qi.

Note: You must have a functioning

SAS HBA installed in your computer

before attaching the Qi.

POWERING ON YOUR Qi

1) Switch the power button located on the back of the unit to the on [–] position.

2) Wait for the ready light on front of the Qi to illuminate steady green.

3) Power on your computer.

Note: When initially powered on, the Qi will perform a hardware power on self-test

(POST). The POST checks to make sure that the LTO drive is functioning properly.

Wait until the single character display (SCD) presents a sustained green light to

indicate POST is complete. POST takes approximately 12 seconds.

Note: If the Qi is powered on with a tape cartridge installed, the system will perform

a much more intensive POST while the system verifies the integrity of the data on

the tape.

Note: Never leave a tape in the Qi with the unit powered off!

Note: Never remove power from the Qi during read, write, load, and unload activities.

LOADING THE LTO CARTRIDGE

1) Make sure the Qi is powered on and the green ready light is illuminated. Do not try

to insert a tape cartridge before the green ready light is on and steady.

2) Insert the cartridge in to the LTO drive. The cartridge goes in with the arrow

pointing upward.

3) Apply gentle pressure until the drive engages the cartridge.

4) When the cartridge is loaded, the green ready light will glow steady green.

UNLOADING THE LTO CARTRIDGE

1) If applicable, use the backup/archive application that you are using to unload the

LTO tape cartridge. This ensures that the application has finished writing data to the

tape before the cartridge is unloaded.

2) Once the backup/archive application has completed its unload process, check to

see if the cartridge has been unloaded. If the cartridge has not been unloaded,

press the blue unload button on the front of the drive. During the unload process,

the drive will complete all tasks, rewind the tape, and unload the cartridge. The

green ready light will flash during the unload process.

3) After the cartridge partially unloads, grasp the cartridge and remove from the drive.

CLEANING THE Qi LTO TAPE DRIVE

The Qi will alert you when it is necessary to clean the LTO tape drive.

The SCD will display a “C” to indicate a cleaning is required. To clean, insert a

cleaning cartridge into the LTO drive. Cleaning begins automatically. When the

process is finished, the cartridge is unloaded, and the SCD will be blank.

Note: The drive will automatically unload an expired cleaning cartridge.

APPENDIX A: CARTRIDGE COMPATIBILITY

Many tape drive and backup failures are caused by damaged or badly handled

tape media.

PROTECT YOUR MEDIA

• Keep the LTO cartridge in the case provided.

• Follow the temperature, humidity, and acclimatization

guidelines on the media packaging.

• Avoid dropping and/or rough handling,

as this is likely to damage the cartridge.

• Inspect it regularly for damage.
