Chapter 1. Overview The operating system provides support for the following tape drives: v EIDE Internal v SCSI Internal v SCSI External Refer to the IBM 4690 OS V2: User’s Guide for more information on using the Streaming T ape Drive Utility . The following table shows the tape drives supported.
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.
Chapter 2. T ape Drive Installation This chapter contains hardwar e 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 pr oduct, see “Safety” on page 25.
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.
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.
Step 3. Mounting the Drive 1. Locate an available bay or space in your store contr oller to mount the tape drive. The tape drive can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical position.
each item in the list, press the Enter key and use the arr ow keys to move between items. Press the Enter key to select the item. Pr ess the Esc key to return to the pr evious screen. Also, make sure that the tape drive is r eported as “Installed”.
Step 3. Configuring the SCSI Drive 1. Locate the SCSI configuration block. The SCSI configuration block pin assignments are: 15 and 16 Enable terminator power 13 and 14 Enable termination 1 1 and 12 Reserved 9 and 10 Reserved 7 and 8 Enable parity 5 and 6 SCSI bit 2 3 and 4 SCSI bit 1 1 and 2 SCSI bit 0 2.
Note: Y ou can also mount the drive in a 5.25-inch (1.6-inch high) bay using the 5.25-inch mounting kit provided. When you attach the brackets to the sides of the 3.5-inch tape drive, you increase the width and height of the drive. The installation instructions ar e located on the mounting kit packaging.
Step 1. Planning Y our SCSI Configuration Plan what SCSI ID to give the tape drive connected to the SCSI bus adapter . Each device on the adapter bus must have a unique ID. Y ou cannot assign a device 7 because most SCSI bus adapters use this as their ID.
3. Locate the SCSI ID push switch on the back of the tape drive. Select the SCSI ID for the drive by pressing the + or − button until the desir ed ID (0 through 7) appears in the window . Step 4. Completing the Installation 1. Check your SCSI bus cable connections.
Enabling the Feature After purchasing the featur e, you should run the featurization diskette to tell the operating system that you have purchased it. T o enable the feature: 1. W ith the operating system running, start a Command Mode session. 2. Insert the 4690 Featurization Diskette.
Chapter 3. Using the T ape Drive This section provides information on using the tape drive featur es. It explains the procedur es for loading and unloading tape cartridges and setting the write-protect switch.
Checking the Reliability of the T ape Data After the Streaming T ape Drive Utility completes a list or restor e operation, the message “Reliability: T ape drive recovered fr om xxx soft errors” appears, with xxx repr esenting the number of 512-byte blocks that could not be read successfully on the first attempt.
E025 – Logical unit not ready , manual intervention requir ed. E026 – Logical unit not ready , format in progr ess. E027 – Logical unit not ready , operation in progr ess. E028 – Logical unit does not respond to selection. E029 – Multiple peripheral devices selected.
E1 17 – Medium magazine locked. E1 18 – Invalid bits in identify message. E1 19 – Logical unit has not self-configured yet. E120 – T arget operating conditions have changed. E121 – Microcode has been changed. E122 – Changed operating definition.

Chapter 5. Maintenance and T roubleshooting This chapter describes several maintenance and troubleshooting pr ocedures for the TR-4 EIDE Internal T ape Drive and the TR-4 SCSI T ape Drives.
T roubleshooting EIDE T ape Drive If the Store Contr oller is indicating an error during the boot process prior to the “IBM 4690 OS 386 V1 ...” message, the problem is not in the 4690 softwar e. The problem is either a har dware failure, a har dware configuration problem, downlevel BIOS, or downlevel firmware in the tape drive.
v The device has a hardwar e problem. The “Reliability: T ape drive recovered fr om xxx soft errors” message displayed by the Streaming T ape Drive Utility is a normal message unless the number indicated by xxx is high. The number can exceed several hundred if the tape is full (contains 4 GB of data).
