Using Figure 1­3 as a guide, use needlenose pliers to set the jumpers. When finished, refer to "Preparing the System, " later in this chapter, for information on verifying the jumpers have been set correctly and your system sees the drive. Do not use SCSI-2 address 7 because the system's SCSI-2 controller uses address 7 by default. We advise that you do not use SCSI-2 address 6 because the root disk drive uses it. 2. 3.

Switch Settings for Data Compression Operation Mode 1­10 Introduction Preparing the System Perform the following steps to prepare the system for the DDS-3 drive installation: 1. Determine the existing SCSI-2 address settings currently in use on your system by completing the following steps. Enter the following at the prompt: /usr/sbin/ioscan RETURN 2. After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O devices it could find. The list appears similar to the following: H/W Path Class Description ============================================ bc 8 bc I/O Adapter 8/0 ext_bus GSC built-in Fast/Wide SCSI Interface 8/0. 0 target 8/0. 0. 0 disk QUANTUM LPS1080WD 8/0. 5 target 8/0. 5. 0 disk DEC DSP3210SW 8/0. 6 target 8/0. 6. 0 disk DEC DSP3210SW 8/12 ba Core I/O Adapter 8/12/5 ext_bus Built-in SCSI 8/12/5. 3 target 8/12/5. 3. 0 tape.

Shut down the system. If you are running SONY-UX under SONY VUE, shut down your system according to the shutdown procedure described in the owner's guide that came with your workstation. The Clean/Attention Light flashes amber to indicate head cleaning is needed or a cartridge is near the end of its life.

During a tape operation, any one area of the tape may have multiple passes over the heads. Under certain conditions, the life of your data cassette is less than 200 to 300 backups or restores. Replace your data cassettes after 100 backups or restores if your operating conditions meet any of the following criteria: 2­3 Using Your DDS Drive · · · The relative humidity in your operating environment is consistently less than 50%. You know that the backup software you are using makes multiple passes over sections of the tape during backups or restores. You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts frequently. Cleaning the Tape Heads Clean the heads of your tape drive after every 25 hours of tape drive use or if the Media Wear (Caution) signal is displayed on the LED. NOTICE: Only use SONY Cleaning Cassettes (SONY92283K) to clean the tape heads. Do not use swabs or other means of cleaning the tape heads. Follow this procedure to clean the tape heads: 1. Insert the cleaning cassette into the drive. Write the current date on the cleaning cassette label so that you know how many times you have used it. Discard the cleaning cassette after you have used it 50 times. 2. Media Restrictions If you interchange media between other SONY workstation DDS tape drives, note that data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities. [. . . ] Powering off with SONY-UX still running could damage the data on the disks associated with your workstation. 5. 7. Remove the drive and check the jumpers, as described in "Removal/Replacement Procedures" at the end of this chapter. Make sure that the connectors are aligned and seated correctly. 3­4 Troubleshooting and Removal/Replacement Procedures 8. Recheck the device list (see "Rechecking the Address Settings" below). Rechecking the Address Settings Check the address settings again to see if the drive is now listed (see "Checking the Address Settings for Single-Ended Drives, " earlier in this chapter). If the DDS-3 drive and all other SCSI-2 devices available to you before you installed the DDS-3 drive are now listed, run the system verification test for your software version, as explained in the next sections.
