Overview

The Sony AITi520, AITi390, AITi260, AITi130 and AITi90 drives are

high capacity data storage devices using Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT)

technology. The AITi260, AITi130 and AITi90 drives achieve high data

reliability through third-level Error Correction Code (second-level Error

Correction Code for the AITi520 and AITi390).

The Sony AITi520, AITi390, AITi260, AITi130 and AITi90 drives store

data on tape using standard formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape)

and ALDC formats.

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 33.

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

drive.

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

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

packing.

Backup Application

Make sure to use a backup application that is confirmed to operate with an

ISV.
