Compatibility with the Floppy Drive Because the tape drive attaches to either a SCSI or IDE cable instead of the floppy ribbon cable and does not use DMA channel 2, there is no contention with the floppy drive. Installation Flexibility The tape drives install in either a 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch bay inside the Store Controller. Note: Because the TR-4 EIDE tape drive uses EIDE, it works with systems that do not have a SCSI card. Reliability The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is an impressive 200,00

Chapter 2. Tape Drive Installation This chapter contains hardware and software installation instructions for the TR-4 tape drives. It contains instructions for both the EIDE tape drive and the SCSI internal and external tape drives. Attention: Before installing this product, see “Safety” on page 25. Attention: Tape drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. The drives are wrapped in a static-protective bag to prevent damage. Installing the TR-4 EIDE Tape Drive To install this drive, y

SL – Slave CS – Cable Select Each of the two IDE cables (primary and secondary) normally has two connectors for attaching two IDE devices (master and slave). The C: drive must be on the primary IDE cable, and the tape drive must be on the secondary IDE cable. When choosing your configuration, remember that two devices on the same IDE cable cannot be accessed at the same time. Performance is increased if you can avoid using both devices that are on the same IDE cable at the same time. A device wil

Master on primary IDE: C: drive Slave on primary IDE: none Master on secondary IDE: D: drive Slave on secondary IDE: tape drive In the configuration above, you do not need to change the jumper on the tape drive, but you may need to change the jumper on the D: drive. Some hard disks have three possible jumper settings: v master v master with a slave attached v slave If you have one of these hard disks and it is currently a “master with no slave” and you are adding the tape drive as a “slave”, then

Step 3. Mounting the Drive 1. Locate an available bay or space in your store controller to mount the tape drive. The tape drive can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position. When mounted horizontally, the tape drive should be oriented so that the activity light is on the top left corner of the tape opening when looking at the tape drive from the front. The drive fits in a 3.5-inch (1-inch high) standard bay. Note: You can also mount the drive in a 5.25-inch (1.6-inch high) bay using
