4MMDAT4 and 4MMDAT5 support the Microcode update process for the IBM
internal 3.5" & 5.25" 4mm 4/10GB SCSI tape Drives. The product codes
of the tape drives are 74G8632 (3.5" drive) and 76G8631 (5.25" drive).
This utility uses the SCSI host adapter card used to connect the tape drives
to the PC to update the microcode of the tape drive for non-RAID systems.
Description The 4 mm Tape Drive is
designed to be attached to any system using a single-ended interface meeting
the Small Computer System Interface-II Standard ANSI X3.131-199X Rev. 10h.
Data Transfer Rate: 400 to 1600KBps (183Kbs
for 2GB) 1000KBps is typical with Data Compression (732Kbs for 2GB).
Data compression hardware, contained in the tape drive, is controlled by
the system software .
Status light: Indicates when it is time
to clean the tape path.
Internal diagnostics: Activated
when 4-mm Diagnostic Cartridge is loaded into drive. System intervention
not required to run these internal diagnostics.
Media Recognition System: Only 'data grade'
media can be used with this tape drive.
Testing the 4 mm Tape Unit w/o Using the System.
Make sure that all system activity for
the 4mm Tape Drive has been properly halted.
Unload and eject any tape cartridge
from the drive.
Make sure the power to the tape drive
is turned off.
Turn the power-on to the tape drive.
The following should occur to the 4 mm
Tape Drive.
1. The two green status
lights and the amber status are lit for 2 seconds which is a test of the
LED's.
2. The Read-Write and Disturbance
lights will turn off and the Ready light will flash, indicating the 4 mm
Tape Drive Power-On Self Test (POST) is running.
3. The Ready status light
is turned off after appr. 15 seconds, indicating that the POST has completed
successfully. Follow the instructions that are shipped with the Diagnostic
Cartridge to complete the testing of the 4 mm Tape Drive.
