push objects of any kind into the unit

through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out

parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of

any kind on the unit.

INSTALLATION

Water and Moisture – Do not use

power-line operated units near water -

for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry

tub, in a wet basement, or near a

swimming pool, etc.

Power-Cord Protection – Route the

power cord so that it is not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying

particular attention to the plugs,

receptacles, and the point where the

cord exits from the appliance.

Accessories – Do not place the unit on

an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the

unit to normal operation.

•When the unit exhibits a distinct

change in performance - this

indicates a need for service.

Servicing – Do not attempt to service

the unit yourself as opening or

removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Overview

The Sony SDX-550V drive is a high capacity data storage device using

Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-550V drive

achieves high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level

of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-550V drive stores data on tape using standard formats

called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC formats.

Introduction

About AIT Drives

The SDX-550V is an internal AIT drive unit that uses data cartridges

conforming to the AIT-2 Turbo format. The SDX-550V supports AIT-E

Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 and AIT-2 Turbo formats.

Features

The AIT Drive Unit SDX-550V has the following features:

•Supports reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-E

Turbo, AIT-1, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 and AIT-2 Turbo formats.

• The third-level error correction code guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 208 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-

length AIT-2 Turbo data cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 80 gigabytes of storage on 186 m tape-length

AIT-2 Turbo data cartridge.

•Stored data are automatically checked for compression.

• Ultra 160 Wide SCSI LVD/SE interface is fully supported for host

computer access.

*1 This is assuming 2.6 : 1 compression ratio.

The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to

system environment and data type.

Precautions

Installation

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:

–high humidity

–high temperature

– mechanical shock and vibration

–direct sunlight

*For details, see “Specifications” on page 29.

Operation

•Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.

• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from low to high

temperatures. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the

drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is

turned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you

attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in

temperature, a malfunction may occur.

•Turning off the power to the drive while they are writing to tape may

cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated

parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.

Transportation

•Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the

drive.

•Always remove the data cartridge before moving the drive. After

removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original

packing.

Useable Cartridges

The SDX-550V can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-E

Turbo, AIT-1 Turbo, AIT-2 Turbo, AIT-1 or AIT-2 logo.

Notes

•Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT.

•Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can

damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8 mm

videotapes resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely

different specifications and cannot be used.

SCSI Termination

The SDX-550V conforms to the Microsoft PC97 standard, which requires

the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator.

Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements

SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external

cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
