UNPACKING THE TAPE DRIVE

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the internal and external models of the VXA-320 tape drive. The information in this chapter expands on the instructions in the Quick Start guide that accompanied your tape drive.

UNPACKING THE TAPE DRIVE

All Tandberg Data tape drives are tested, inspected, and carefully packaged at the factory. However, because shipping damage can occur, you should follow the steps below to unpack the tape drive:

1.Visually inspect the shipping container and notify your freight carrier immediately if you see any damage.

2.Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable surface. If parts are missing or the equipment is damaged, notify your supplier or Tandberg Data.

3.Save the original shipping container and packaging materials in case you need to reship the tape drive.

INSTALLING THE TAPE DRIVE

The installation instructions for your tape drive depend on what model you have:

To install the internal LVD SCSI model of the tape drive, read “Installing the

Internal SCSI Tape Drive,” beginning on page 8.

To install the external LVD SCSI model of the tape drive, read “Installing the

External SCSI Tape Drive,” beginning on page 14.
