1Overview and Features

This section includes:

Overview

The 5243-2SE tape drive is designed for file backup and archive applications. It

contains two independent DAT72 tape drives.

The tape drive unit mounts into a telco rack and has built-in power-on-self-test (POST)

diagnostics.

The tape drive uses DAT72 tape drives and is designed to use a 170-meter DAT72

tape cartridge. The tape drive is also backward compatible with the DDS-3 tape format.

It is not backward compatible with DDS-2 or DDS-1 tape formats. The unit is

considered a field replaceable unit (FRU) and can only be installed or replaced by

qualified personnel trained by HP.

NonStop S-Series Servers

The tape drive connects to a ServerNet/DA, IOMF2 CRU, or PMF CRU on the

NonStop S-series server by a SCSI cable.

NonStop NS-Series Servers

An M8201R Fibre Channel to SCSI router must be used to connect the tape drive to

the Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA) on the HP NonStop NS-series server.

For more information, refer to the M8201R Fibre Channel to SCSI Router Installation

and User’s Guide and the Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support

Guide.

Features

The DAT72 tape drive can store 36GB of data per DAT72 cartridge and up to 72GB of

data in compressed mode (assuming a 2:1 compression factor). The tape drive has

both read and write heads and can perform read-after-write (RAW) data checking.

Specifications

For the tape drive specifications, refer to Appendix A, Specifications.
