4 Viper 200 Installation Manual

FCC notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

If necessary, you should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television

technician for additional suggestions. You may find the booklet, How to

Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems, prepared by the

Federal Communications Commission, helpful. This booklet (Stock No. 004-

000-00345-4) is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402.

Warning. Changes or modifications made to this equipment, which have

not been expressly approved by Seagate, may cause radio

and television interference problems that could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

Further, this equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital

apparatus in accordance with Canadian Radio Interference Regulations

ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du

Canada.

The external device drive described in this manual requires shielded

interface cables to comply with FCC emission limits.

Additional Warnings:

• To prevent fire or electrical shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain

or moisture.

• To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet.

• Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Viper 200 Installation Manual 5

Introduction

This installation manual summarizes the installation and

operation of the Seagate®Viper 200®Ultrium tape drive. The

Viper 200 is a high-performance eight-channel Ultrium tape

drive that uses ½-inch Ultrium tape cartridges with a native

capacity of up to 100 Gbytes (200 Gbytes assuming 2:1 data

compression). It supports Read While Write (RWW) and

provides intelligent hardware data compression as well as

cartridge soft load. It comes with an ULTRA 2 WIDE SCSI

LVD (LVD), an Ultra Wide SCSI HVD (HVD) or a Fibre

Channel LC Optical (FC) interface and a library RS-422 serial

interface.

The Viper 200 design is well suited for mid-range to high-end

servers, mainframe systems, and tape library automation

systems.

The internal Viper 200 is designed to fit in a 5¼-inch full-

height drive bay. The external drive is a standalone unit with

built-in power supply. The following Viper 200 models are

covered in this manual:

Model number Form factor Interface

STU42001LW 5.25-inch Internal drive LVD

STU42001WD 5.25-inch Internal drive HVD

STU42001FC 5.25-inch Internal drive FC

STU62001LW External drive LVD

STU62001WD External drive HVD

Note: LVD drives should be installed only in an SCSI LVD

environment, HVD drives should be only be used in a

SCSI HVD environment, and FC drives should only be

installed in an Fibre Channel environment.

Unpacking and Inspection

Although drives are inspected and carefully packaged at the

factory, damage may occur during shipping. Follow these

steps for unpacking the drive.

1. Visually inspect the shipping containers and notify your

carrier immediately of any damage.

2. Place shipping containers on a flat, clean, stable surface;

then carefully remove and verify the contents against the

packing list. If parts are missing or the equipment is

damaged, notify your Seagate representative.

3. Save the containers and packing materials in case you

ever have to reship the drive.

Viper 200 Installation Manual 7

Installing an internal HVD or LVD Viper 200

This section describes the steps necessary to install an

internal Viper 200 drive with an Ultra 2 Wide SCSI LVD or

Ultra Wide SCSI HVD interface. For instructions on installing

a Fibre Channel drive, see page 15. For instructions on

installing an external HVD or LVD drive, see page 23.

Before you begin

The following guidelines and cautions apply to handling and

installing internal tape drives. Keep them in mind as you

install the drive.

• Determine if the drive is an FC, HVD or an LVD model.

Install an HVD drive only in an HVD environment, and an

LVD model only in an LVD environment. Do not mix HVD

and LVD devices. Look at the label above the drive’s

connector to determine if the drive is an FC, HVD or an

LVD model:

LVD label:

HVD label:

FC label:

Fibre Channel

Caution. Plugging an HVD drive into an LVD bus or vice

versa will make the entire bus non-functional and

may permanently damage the drive or other

SCSI devices on the bus.

• Because the Viper 200 drive can transmit data at up to 80

Mbytes/second, it is recommended that a maximum of

two Vipers be connected to one SCSI host adapter.

• Internal drives contain some exposed components that

are sensitive to static electricity. To reduce the possibility

of damage from static discharge, the drives are shipped

in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive

from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag,

touch a metal or grounded surface to discharge any static

electricity buildup from your body.

8 Viper 200 Installation Manual

• Always lay the drive either on top of the antistatic bag or

place it inside of the bag to reduce the chance of damage

from static discharge.

Configuring an internal HVD or LVD drive

Before you install the tape drive in your computer, you may

need to configure the drive’s SCSI ID and other drive

features. Jumpers located on the back of the drive (near the

left edge of the drive) are used to configure the SCSI ID and

to enable termination power.

Default settings

The default drive settings for the Viper 200 are listed below:

• SCSI ID: 6

• Termination Power: disabled.

If these default settings are appropriate for your needs, skip

ahead to “Mounting an internal HVD or LVD drive” on page

10.

Jumper settings

Configuration jumpers on the back of the drive control the

drive’s SCSI ID and SCSI terminator power. The jumpers can

also be used for remote SCSI address selection. Figure 1 on

the following page shows the locations of the jumper blocks

for the internal Viper 200.
