Frequently Asked Questions - SLR75 Tandberg Data

What is the maximum capacity of the SLR75 drive?

The native capacity is 38 GB, and with hardware compression (2:1) it reaches 75 GB. The actual compression ratio depends on the data type.

How do I install the SLR75 drive in my computer?

First, install the SCSI host adapter. Configure the SCSI ID (default 2) using jumpers. Insert the drive into a free 5.25-inch bay, then connect the SCSI cable and power cable. Ensure correct termination (loopback resistor included).

Which operating systems are supported?

The SLR75 drive is supported on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Novell NetWare, SCO Open Server, SCO UnixWare, Sunsoft Solaris, Apple Macintosh, IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Linux. Specific drivers may be required.

How do I clean the SLR75 drive?

Use an SLR cleaning cartridge. Insert it into the drive; cleaning starts automatically (about 3 minutes). A steady orange LED indicates cleaning is needed. Replace the cleaning cartridge after use (when cartridge is automatically ejected).

What should I do if the drive is not recognized by the system?

Check: 1) that the drive is powered and SCSI cables are properly connected, 2) that there is no SCSI ID conflict (use a unique ID, not 7 which is for the host adapter), 3) that SCSI termination is correctly configured (active termination at end of bus).

How do I set the SCSI ID on the SLR75?

For internal models, use jumpers on the Jumper Block (ID 0 to 15). For external models, turn the thumbwheel on the back of the unit. The default ID is 2. Refer to the manual for the jumper diagram.

What type of data cartridge should I use?

Use SLRtape75 cartridges (Tandberg Data part number). The drive is also compatible with SLRtape60, SLRtape50, SLRtape40, SLRtape7, and can read SLRtape100 and SLRtape140 cartridges.

Does the included backup software work on Windows 10?

The manual mentions compatibility with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. For newer versions like Windows 10, third-party drivers or recent backup software (e.g., Backup Exec) may be needed. Check the Tandberg website for updated drivers.

How do I interpret the SLR75 LED indicators?

The drive has 3 LEDs: green (solid = idle with cartridge, blinking = active), orange (solid = cleaning needed), and green+orange blinking = fatal error. If all three blink together, contact technical support.

Can I use the SLR75 with a Narrow SCSI host adapter?

Yes, but you will need a WIDE-to-Narrow converter because the drive connector is WIDE (16-bit). Also, disable WIDE negotiation in the SCSI host adapter BIOS. For wide cards, use the supplied cable directly.

Data Compression

Data Compression is a way to increase capacity on a storage device. Compression ratios are normally specified to be 2:1, meaning that it is possible to store twice as much data on the tape as normal without data compression. However, the compression rate is depending on the type of data, e.g. ordinary text files can be compressed in a much higher rate than program files.

There are two ways to compress data, hardware compression and software compression. The storage device very often does hardware compression, and software compression means that the program is compressing the data before it is sent to the storage device. Hardware compression is much more efficient, and works much faster than software compression.

The Tandberg Data SLR4-DC, SLR5, SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140 use ALDC Hardware compression to compress data. This feature is enabled per default but the user may turn off data compression through the application software or specific Software Tools. (Please refer to the Tandberg SCSI tools chapter at the end of this manual for more information).

Tape Drive Installation

SCSI Controller Board Installation

All Tandberg Data SLR tape drives uses a SCSI interface to the host system.

Before any SCSI device can be installed it is necessary to have a SCSI controller board installed. Please pay attention to the following points.

- Make sure your computer is turn off before proceeding to the installation.

- If you computer is equipped with an onboard SCSI controller, before proceeding with the installation, you must first locate the SCSI connector on the computer motherboard.

- Refer to the documentation provided with your computer to find out where this connector is located.

- If multiple SCSI connectors are available, you can choose any of them, except if your computer documentation mentions something different.

- When done, firmly connect the SCSI connector to the Mainboard connector and refer to the section Mounting the Tape Drive to install your internal SLR.

- If your PC/Server needs a separate SCSI controller, you need to make sure it is properly installed before connecting your SLR tape drive.

Tandberg Data

- You will also need a software driver from the SCSI controller vendor to activate the SCSI Controller. Please make sure you have the latest software driver for your SCSI controller loaded, and that the SCSI controller board is properly installed. Software drivers can be downloaded from the vendors' web site. Refer to the README file for installation.

Please refer to the PC/Server documentation for further information on how to install additional boards in the PC/Server. Or ask your local dealer for assistance.

SCSI Configuration

SCSI-ID Selection

Internal SLR2® SLR5:

Jumper Block/Jumper Block/Bloc de Cavalliers

ID = 0 ID = 1 ID = 2 ID = 3 ID = 4 ID = 5 ID = 6 ID = 7

Jumper Block/Jumper Block/Bloc de Cavaliers

ID = 0 ID = 1 ID = 2 ID = 3 ID = 4 ID = 5 ID = 6 ID = 7 ID = 8 ID = 9 ID = 10 ID = 11 ID = 12 ID = 13 ID = 14 ID = 15

All devices on a SCSI-bus need their own unique identification, called SCSI-ID. If a SCSI-ID conflict exists, some of the SCSI devices will not be recognized by your system. In many systems it is common to use the SCSI-bus for the hard-drive and CD-ROM, as well as the tape drive. Remember that the SCSI Controller uses SCSI-ID 7.

If the tape drive is the only device on the SCSI - bus, you do not need to do anything. The tape drive will be recognized automatically. (All Tandberg Data tape drives are delivered with SCSI-ID 2 as default.)

If the tape drive is going to share the SCSI-bus with other devices, check the SCSI-ID numbers used by the other devices, then set the drive's SCSI-ID to a number that is not being used by any of the other devices (remember the SCSI host adapter uses ID 7).

The SCSI-ID is often set by “jumpers” where you can “read out” which SCSI-ID the device has been set up for. All SCSI device ID's are displayed on the screen during system startup.

SCSI-bus Termination - Internal Tape Drives

Termination in General

A SCSI-bus is susceptible to interference, such as noise from electrical motors and other electromagnetic devices. Also due to the speed of the data on the SCSI-bus, it is of outmost importance to terminate the SCSI-bus properly. “Termination” is used to define the ends of the SCSI-bus.

Tandberg SLR2 ^® SLR5

SCSI termination where the tape drive is the last or only SCSI device.

SCSI termination in a system with three internal SCSI devices.

- If your drive will be the last device on the SCSI cable or the only device on the cable, as shown to the left, make sure that the SCSI termination packs are installed in the drive (Factory default).

- If your tape drive will be in the middle of a SCSI chain, as shown to the left, you must disable SCSI termination on the drive. To disable SCSI termination on the tape drive, remove the termination resistor packs from the drive (see figure on the following page). Make sure that the last SCSI device on the cable has termination enabled.

Tandberg Data

The Tandberg SLR2 ^ SLR5 drives have 3 passive termination resistor packages that can be removed or installed inside the drive.

Pin 1 Pin 1 Pin 1 3 internal terminators

Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60 SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140

The Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 and SLR140 tape drives are supplied with no internal drive termination capability. To comply with PC99 specifications, TD supplies an internal SCSI cable with a removable active terminator to facilitate termination requirements in internal applications.

SCSI-bus Termination - External Tape Drives

If the Tape drive is the only device on the external SCSI-bus, it must be terminated using the external SCSI termination provided with the solution. See figure:

Mounting the Internal Tape Drive

Wide/Narrow Configuration

All SLR internal tape drives can be connected either to a 16 bit Wide SCSI or an 8-bit Narrow SCSI host adapter. SLR25 is provided with an internal cable with a narrow connector. SLR7-140 internal tape drives are supplied with a WIDE connector. If you plan to use SLR2-5 with a WIDE SCSI host adapter you will need a Narrow SCSI host adapter Narrow to WIDE converter for the internal cable supplied with your SLR2-5 tape storage solution. If you plan to use SLR7-140 with a narrow SCSI host adapter you will need a Wide to Narrow converter.

Tandberg Data

More detailed information regarding these converters and connecting 8 bit narrow SCSI peripherals to 16 bit wide SCSI host adapter and 16 bit WIDE SCSI peripherals to 8 bit narrow host adapters as well as purchasing these converters, can be found at the following website.

To improve data reliability and data cartridge lifetime, please respect the following:

• Do not drop data cartridges
• Make sure the air around the tape drive and the data cartridge storage area is clean
• Before using any data cartridge, expose it to the actual operating environment for at least four hours
  -Replace worn or excessively noisy data cartridges

Storing Data Cartridges

The best practice to store a data cartridge is to rewind it to the beginning of tape before storing it in its protective case.

How to Rewind a Data Cartridge

Tandberg SLR7 ® SLR140

The SLR7-140 drives automatically perform this operation when the Eject button is pressed.

Tandberg SLR2® SLR5

Unix System Command

Using the system command, a rewind operation has to be performed using the MT command. (Refer to the MT documentation for details)

Unix System/PC System Using Backup Application

To make sure the tape is at Beginning Of Tape, a retention command has to be executed, prior to ejecting the tape.

When this operation is completed:

Eject the tape from the drive and then store it in its protective case.

Storage Condition

Avoid high temperature (>25C/77F) and high humidity (>50 % RH)

Store the data cartridge in a cool and dry environment.

Do not store the data cartridge near devices with strong magnetic fields, such as computer monitors, TV sets, or loudspeakers.

Conditioning

Prior to use, the data cartridge should be adapted to the operating environment for a time at least equal to the period it has been out of the operating environment (up to a maximum of 8 hours).

Retentioning Condition

A Retention MUST be performed in any of the following cases:

• First use of brand new data cartridge.
• After prolonged operation over a limited tape length, meaning excessive start/stop operations.
• When the cartridge has been exposed to a decrease/increase in temperature of 16^ (30°F)
• When the cartridge has been dropped.
• The occurrence of excessive soft write errors, excessive soft read errors (also named ECC error by some backup applications).

Cleaning

Before use, please make sure that the cleaning cartridge is stored for 24 hours in the temperature and humidity of the environment in which it will be used.

Recommended Cleaning Intervals

In general, the tape drive should be cleaned after 50 hours of tape movement for SLR2-5, and every 100 hours for SLR7 - 140.

A weekly cleaning routine is highly recommended, as well as cleaning the tape drive immediately after using a brand new tape cartridge.

NOTE: If your product is the Tandberg SLR24, SLR7, SLR40, SLR50, SLR60, SLR75, SLR100 or SLR140, cleaning is required when the rightmost front LED being illuminated a steady AMBER color.

Cleaning Procedure

1) Load the cleaning cartridge into the SLR tape drive.

2) The cleaning process will begin automatically. This is indicated by the front LEDs on the product as follows:

Tandberg SLR2® SLR5

- Flashing GREEN front panel LED.

3) Wait for all LED activity to finish and manually eject the data cartridge from the tape drive (around 30 seconds).

Troubleshooting

In case of problems with operation of your SLR tape drive and before contacting the Customer Services Group, please be sure to check the following:

Hardware Checking

• Check that the system recognizes the tape drive during the boot process.
• Check that the SCSI host adapter recognizes the tape drive during its initialization.
• Did you check the tape drive Front Panel LED status?
• Check that the tape drive has been configured correctly.
• Check that the SCSI-ID of the drive is not conflicting on the SCSI-bus.
• Check that the power cable is inserted correctly.
• Check that the SCSI cable connections are made correctly.

Software Checking

• Check that the operating system does not report a problem during the boot.
• Check that the correct Tape Device Driver has been installed properly.
• Check that the driver for the SCSI host adapter is present and loaded properly.
• Check that the Backup software does not report an error message when loading.
• Reinstall the Backup Software and check that the SLR is recognized.

Verifying Recent Changes

If the SLR has been installed previously and operating correctly but is now incurring a problem, verify any recent changes to the system to ensure that these changes are not causing the problem. Try the following:

1) If the system configuration has changed, remove the change to see if it affected the tape drive.
2) If an operating system corrective patch has been installed, remove it to see if it affected the tape drive.
3) If a SCSI device has been added, check for SCSI-ID conflicts.
4) If a SCSI device has been added, check if the SCSI termination has been properly set.

Correcting Intermittent Failures

If the SLR fails intermittently:

1) Clean the tape drive.
2) Check the SCSI termination on the SCSI Bus.

If the problem occurs in the middle of an operation:

1) Try with a different data cartridge.
2) If the error occurs when the software scans for the files to be backed-up, please operate a SCANDISK operation to check the state of the File Systems(s) and hard disk.

If the error occurs always on the same file or directory:

1) Try to remove the file or directory from the Backup operation to see if that corrects the problem.
2) Try with a different data cartridge.
