for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry

tub, in a wet basement, or near a

swimming pool, etc.

Overview

The Sony SDX-900V series drives are high capacity data storage devices

using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The SDX-900V series

drives achieve high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional

level of Error Correction Code, and other features.

The Sony SDX-900V series drives store data on tape using standard

formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC.

Introduction

About AIT Drives

SDX-900V series drives are internal AIT drive units that use data cartridges

conforming to the AIT-4 format.

Features

The SDX-900V series drives have the following features:

•Support reading and writing to data cartridges conforming to the AIT-4

format.

•The Read-After-Write Function and third-level error correction code

guarantee high data reliability.

•Data compression provides 520 gigabytes of storage on 246 m tape-

length cartridge.*1

The native capacity is 200 gigabytes of storage on 246 m tape-length

cartridge.

•Stored data is 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

Useable Cartridges

SDX-900V series can be used with data and cleaning cartridges marked

with the AIT-4 logo.

Notes

•Be sure to use only data cartridges designed specifically for AIT (do not use 8 mm

video cartridges) as this may damage the drives.

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

AIT drive. Although commercially available 8mm videotapes resemble AIT cartridges

in appearance, they have entirely different specifications and cannot be used.

Installation

Avoid placing the drives in locations subject to:

–high humidity

–high temperature

– mechanical shock and vibration

–direct sunlight

*For details, see “Specifications” on page 26.

Operation

• Do not move the drives while they are operating. It may cause

malfunctions.

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

temperatures. This may cause condensation to collect inside the drives. If

the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drives are turned

on, turn them off and wait at least one hour before turning them back on.

If you attempt to operate the drives immediately after a sudden increase

in temperature, malfunctions may occur.

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

cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated

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

Transportation

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

drives.

•Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drives. After

removing the drives from the computer, repack them into their original

packing.

SCSI Termination

The SDX-900V series drives conform 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.
