Pre-installed Internal Drives
Dell performs the installation and setup of internal tape drives that are shipped as part of a system. If tape backup software is included in your system, refer to the
installation instructions included with the software.
For the latest supported software versions, go to
Installing Internal Drives
If your internal tape drive is not pre-installed, the installation instructions are as follows:
Note: Be sure to install and configure the drive according to the instructions provided in the Dell documentation for your system.
Installing the Drive — Prerequisites
Dell PowerVault LTO3-060 tape drives are Ultra160 LVD SCSI devices with a burst transfer rate of 160 MB per second. Do not use the drive on a single-ended
SCSI bus, as performance is restricted. Do not use on the same bus as other single-ended devices, as this will switch the LVD host adapter into single-ended mode
and restrict performance. We recommend that a dedicated host bus adapter is used for the tape drive.
The tape drives have a 68-pin wide, high-density SCSI connector. If you are using a tape drive on an internal bus with other peripherals that run at Ultra2 speeds, it is
important that a 68-pin LVD-compatible ribbon cable is used.
Mounting Bay
You need one industry-standard, 5 1/4-inch, half-height bay in which to install the PowerVault LTO3-060 tape drive. The drive may be mounted vertically or
horizontally.
Mounting Hardware
Most systems use trays or rails to mount the tape drive. For some systems, no tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into the system's chassis and are fixed
with screws.
Installing the Drive — Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 — Unpacking the Drive
Unpack the tape drive and store the packaging. You may need the packaging if you return the unit for service.
A period of time is required if the temperature of the drive when unpacked is different than the temperature of its operating environment (measured at the front of the
bezel near the air intake area; see

evaporated, whichever is greater. To allow the drive to adjust to its new environment, apply the following measures:
If the drive is colder than its operating environment and the air contains sufficient humidity, condensation may occur in the drive and damage it. When the drive
l
has warmed to the operating temperature range (greater than 10 degrees C or 50 degrees F) and no danger of condensation is present (the air is dry), warm the
drive more quickly by powering it on for 30 minutes. Use a scratch tape to test the drive before inserting a tape that contains data.
If the drive is hotter than its operating environment, the tape can stick to the drive head. When the drive has cooled to the operating temperature range (less than
l
40 degrees C or 104 degrees F), cool the drive more quickly by applying airflow for 30 minutes. Power on the drive and use a scratch tape to test it before
inserting a tape that contains data.
If you are uncertain about whether the temperature of the drive is within the recommended operating range or the humidity is sufficient to cause condensation, allow the
drive to adjust to its new environment for the full 4 hours.
