LTO-4 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-4 Half-Height Tape Drives, models TC-L42-AN (internal),

TC-L42BN-EY and TC-L42BN-EO (tabletop), and TC-L43CN-EY and TC-

43CN-EO (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.

LTO-4 Half-Height Tape Drive Quick Start Guide

Before Installing the LTO-4 Half-Height Tape Drive

Handling Precautions and

Installation Guidelines 0Always observe the following precautions and guidelines when handling and installing

LTO-4 Half-Height Tape Drives:

• Internal, at all times

• Tabletop, when removed from its free-standing enclosure

Preinstallation

Requirements 0Before installing the LTO-4 Half-Height Tape Drive, make sure you have:

• A serial SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly configured in the host

computer

• Interface components, 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

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 • Due to the high speed of the LTO-4 Half-Height Tape

Drive, do not connect more than one LTO-4 drive to the

same host bus adapter (HBA).

Unpacking and Inspecting

the Drive 0Although each LTO-4 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-4 Half-Height Tape Drive as follows:

1Visually inspect the shipping container and notify your carrier immediately of any

damage.

2Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable surface and carefully remove the

contents.

3Visually inspect the LTO-4 Half-Height Tape Drive and notify your Quantum

representative immediately of any damage.

4Always save the shipping container and packing materials for any future reshipment.

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).
