Overview
The 20/40 GB DLT Internal Tape Drive is a fast/narrow 50-pin SCSI-2 tape drive for backing up and
restoring data and archiving files. Each tape cartridge can store up to 20GB of data (uncompressed), or up to 40GB
of data (compressed), depending on application and datatype.
The tape drive can be installed - will work in horizontal or vertical position.
The Option package contain
Backup and Restore Software (on application CD)
Configuration jumperblocks
Most SCSI adapters provide termination power.
However, if your SCSI adapter does not provide termination power, you
must place a jumper in the enable termination power position -4- on the jumperblock -2-.
Check the documentation that come with the PC or SCSI adapter for more information.
If the system does not generate parity, you can disable parity checking by placing a jumper in the disable parity position
-3- on the jumperblock -2-.
The DLT-drive is shipped with default SCSI ID address 5, use the below table for setup the DLT-drive SCSI ID on SCSI ID jumperblock -1-.
Density changes can occur only when writing from the beginning of the tape. You cannot mix capacities on a
singledata cartridge.

Density Override
(yellow)When indicator is lit, it indicates you use the
Selectbutton (7) to change tape capacity.
9
Compress
(yellow)When indicator is lit, data compression is enabled.
(Available in 10/20 GB density only)

20.0
(yellow)When indicator lights steadily, the tape is recorded
at 20.0GB capacity.
When indicator is blinking, it indicates you requested
this capacity.
11
10.0/15.0
(yellow)When indicator lights steadily, the tape is recorded
at 10.0 GB or 15.0 GB capacity.
When indicator is blinking, it indicates you requested
this capacity.

(yellow)When indicator lights steadily, the tape is recorded
at 2.6 GB capacity.
When indicator is blinking, it indicates you requested
this capacity.
Selecting Data Cartridges
The front of the cartridge has an orange Write Protect indicator -1-,
and Write Protect switch -2- to prevent accidential erasure. Slide the switch to the right
to write enable -3- or to the left to write protect -4-.
You can change the Write Protect switch before or after inserting the tape.
If you change the Write Protect switch while the tape is inserted, there is a delay of a few seconds before
the Write Protect indicator changes.
NOTE: The backup/restore software might also provide write protection for the cartridge.
For writing data, use only DLT data cartridges
Any of the following data cartridges are acceptable and require no
formatting or other media conditioning before use.
Selecting Record Capacity
You might want to decrease tape capacity for compatibility with older tapedrives, or
increase capacity for better performance.
Insert a tape cartridge, and wait for the tape motion to stop and the Tape in Use indicator
to light steadily. The capacity indicators show the current tape capacity.
If they are not lit, it means the tape is blank.
Press Select button to change density.
When the Density Override indicator is blinking, you can press the Select button to
change the recording capacity of the tape.
Press the Select button until the desired capacity indicator is flashing.
The indicator will continue flashing until the tape drive begins recording in the new capacity. Then, the new capacity
indicator is on steadily (the old capacity indicator is off).
