2 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Chapter 2. Installation

This chapter describes how to install the internal DDS Gen 5 drive.

Unpacking

Before you unpack the contents of your drive package, inspect the shipping containers for damage. If you spot damage to the container, notify your carrier immediately.

When you unpack the package, compare the items received with those on the packing list. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your place of purchase immediately.

Pre-installation requirements

In addition to the contents included with your internal tape drive, you need the following items to install your internal tape drive.

v A SCSI host bus adapter that is properly installed and configured in a host

computer

v A 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch half-height bay v Backup application software that supports the internal tape drive. v Phillips screwdriver v Flatblade screwdriver, if your computer uses flathead screws v Torx screwdriver, if your computer uses torx screws

Avoiding electrostatic damage

Your internal tape drive has very sensitive components that are prone to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use extreme care when handling the drive, as it can be damaged by ESD.

Before handling the drive, read these ESD instructions to prevent damage to the drive.

v Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or observe similar ESD

precautions when working with the drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact. Do not remove the wrist strap until you finish working with the drive.

v Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The wrist strap

only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

v When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag. v Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded

surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.

v Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts on the

printed circuit board.

v Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce the

chance of ESD damage.

Reviewing drive default settings

Your internal tape drive comes with various default settings. These settings are configured using jumpers and switches.

v The jumpers are located on the back of the drive, between the SCSI interface and

power connectors (refer to the diagram in“General installation instructions” on page 9).

v The switches are located on the underside of the drive. If you change a switch

setting, you must turn the drive off and then on to have the new setting take effect (see Figure below).

You may need to change these settings to suit your requirements. Review the default settings shown below to determine whether they suit your requirements or need to be changed.

SCSI ID settings

Jumper Pins: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8

Default Settings: SCSI ID 6

Each SCSI device on the bus must have its own unique ID. Your internal tape drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 6. If another SCSI device in the SCSI chain is already using this ID, use jumper pins 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 to change the drive’s SCSI ID.

Note: If you change the drive’s default SCSI ID, avoid using SCSI IDs 0 and 1 (which typically are assigned to a boot drive) and SCSI ID 7 (which typically is assigned to SCSI controllers or host bus adapters).

Parity checking

Jumper Pins 9-10: Pins 9-10 shunted: Enable parity checking

By default, parity checking is enabled on the internal tape drive. To disable parity checking, remove the jumper from pins 9 and 10.

Note: If you disable parity checking, the drive still generates a parity bit.

Terminating power

Jumper Pins 11-12: Pins 11-12 shunted: Enable terminator

(default)

Pins 9-10 open: Disable parity checking

power

Pins 11-12 open: Disable terminator power (default)

By default, terminator power is disabled on the internal tape drive. To enable terminator power, place a jumper across pins 11 and 12.

Note: If you enable terminator power, be careful not to short the TERMPWR signal to ground (for example, by attaching the SCSI cable upside down). If a short

Chapter 2. Installation 5

occurs, terminator power to the bus is interrupted. After the short is removed, a fuse in the drive is automatically reset, restoring terminator power.

Data compression

Settings: Switch 1 ON = Enable hardware data

The internal tape drive provides two switches for controlling data compression.

Switch 1 determines whether hardware data compression is enable or disabled. By default, switch 1 is set to ON, enabling hardware data compression. To disable hardware data compression, set switch 1 to the OFF position.

Switch 2 controls whether SCSI commands are recognized for enabling or disabling hardware data compression. By default, switch 2 is set to ON, allowing SCSI commands to be used to enable or disable hardware data compression. To prevent SCSI commands from enabling or disabling hardware data compression, set switch 2 to the OFF position.

compression (default)

Switch 1 OFF = Disable hardware data compression

Switch 2 OFF = Recognize SCSI data compression commands (default)

Switch 2 ON = Ignore SCSI data compression commands

When data compression is enabled, the drive compresses all data written to tape and decompresses all compressed data read from tape. The degree of compression varies due to the type of data being processed.

v Data with a high degree of redundancy, such as structured database files or

graphics files, are compressed most efficiently, often at a ratio of 2:1 or more.

v Data with little redundancy, such as executable programs, are compressed the

least.

Power-on self test

Settings: Switch 4 ON = Drive performs Power-On

Switch 4 enables or disables the Power-On Self-Test diagnostics that the drive performs when powered on. By default, the drive responds to SCSI commands only after it successfully completes the Power-On Self-Test (about 5 seconds). To prevent the drive from performing the Power-On Self-Test when powered-up, set switch 4 to the OFF position.

Host operating system

Self Test (default)

Switch 4 OFF = Drive does not perform Power-On Self Test

Switches: 5,6,7,8

Default Settings: Microsoft Windows

6 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Switches 5 through 8 configure the internal tape drive for a host operating system. By default, these switches are all ON. This setting configures the drive for a Microsoft

Windows®operating system.

To use the internal tape drive with a different operating system, set switches 5 through 8 to select the appropriate settings.

4. Select an available 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch mounting bay, depending the internal tape drive you want to install.

Note: The internal tape drive can be mounted horizontally or vertically (on its side).

5. If the mounting bay has a “filler panel,” remove it according to the instructions in your computer’s documentation. Place the screws aside, You will need them to secure the drive in the bay.

6. If the computer does not have a SCSI host adapter, install one.

8 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Installing the drive

This section contains information on installing the tape drive in IBM servers and other computers.

Installing the drive in IBM servers

The IBM DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive can be installed in several IBM xSeries servers. The most current list of supported servers can be found at www/pc/ibm.com/us/compat/storage/matrix.html. Refer to the documentation that comes with the server for instructions on installing the tape drive or follow the general instructions below.

General installation instructions

Follow these steps to install the tape drive.

Step 1. Selecting a SCSI ID

Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. Select a SCSI ID from 0 to 15 for the tape drive. The SCSI ID must be supported by your SCSI adapter. Refer to your SCSI adapter documentation for the range and relative priority of the IDs supported. The tape drive is shipped with the SCSI ID preset to 6.

Follow these guidelines to select a SCSI ID:

v Assign the tape drive to one of the higher priority IDs available (0–6). v Assign the lower priority ID numbers (8-15) to those devices that are most often

used or are faster than other devices in the chain.

v Do not assign an ID of 7, because this is usually used as the SCSI adapter ID.

Depending on your computer, there are several ways to view your current SCSI ID settings:

v For many IBM computers, press F1 during the startup after the memory check

completes. Other adapters show SCSI settings when you press Ctrl A. Check the documentation that comes with your computer or SCSI adapter for information on how to view configuration information.

v Use SCSI adapter utility programs, if available. v Inspect the installed SCSI devices to see how the jumpers that determine the IDs

are set.

Step 2. Setting the SCSI ID

Chapter 2. Installation 9

Refer to the following diagram when setting the SCSI ID.

Default jumper settings shown (SCSI ID 6, parity checking enabled, and termination power disabled)

Term. power

Note: When setting the SCSI ID, use the jumpers that come with the tape drive. If your enclosure uses a remote SCSI ID switch, remove the jumpers from the jumper pins on the tape drive and connect the remote switch.

1. Find the jumper pin setting that corresponds to the SCSI ID number you choose; then place jumper pins on the SCSI ID blocks as shown. You can use a pair of flat-nose pliers to place the jumpers on the jumper pins.

Step 3. Mounting the drive

Mount the tape drive; then attach the SCSI and power cables to it. If there is insufficient working space to attach the connectors after mounting the drive, attach the cables first. To mount the drive, follow these steps:

10 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

1. Locate an available 5.25-inch bay or space in your computer to mount the tape drive. Remove the cover plate from the bay selected. Install the drive horizontally or vertically, depending on the bay.

2. Remove drive mounting rails from the drive for the 3.5″ installation.

5.25-inch drive bay

3.5-inch drive bay

3. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing. When you mount the tape drive, follow these guidelines:

v Ensure that no objects such as screw heads, cables, or adjacent devices are

pressing against the frame.

v Ensure that nothing blocks the ventilation slots on the bottom and rear of the

tape drive. Attention: Use only the screws that come with the tape drive. Other screws

might be too long and might damage the drive.

4. Insert a screw through each of the drive-bay holes into the threaded holes in the drive and tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

Step 4. Attaching cables

To attach the SCSI and power cables to the tape drive:

1. Locate the SCSI cable that was included in your package and attach it according to the following diagram.

Note: The SCSI adapter might be part of the computer system board or might be an adapter installed in an expansion slot.

Chapter 2. Installation 11

2. Connect the power cable connector to the four-pin connector on the tape drive as shown in the illustration.

Attention: Do not force the power cable into the tape drive power connector. If the power cable is upside down and you force the connection, you might damage the drive.

If all the power cables are in use, purchase a dc Y-splitter cable, which is available at most electronics stores. Split a cable to make a connection available for the tape drive.

Step 5. Completing the installation

Check your work before closing the computer.

1. Be sure that the power and SCSI connectors are securely attached. Be sure that the cables are neatly routed.

2. Replace the computer cover and secure it in place.

3. Reconnect the cables and then reconnect the power cords.

Step 6. Turning on the device

Turn on all the attached devices; then turn on your computer. If the internal tape drive is configured to perform its Power-On Self-Test (see“Power-on self test” on page 6), it performs the test for about five seconds. When the drive passes the test, all three front-panel LEDs should be OFF.

Step 8. Updating the configuration

For most computers, the configuration-setup utility program automatically recognizes the new tape drive. However, you might have to provide information about your system changes after you restart your computer.

Ensure that the appropriate advanced SCSI programming interface (ASPI) device drivers are installed to support the tape drive. Device drivers are usually provided with the SCSI adapter.

If your computer does not recognize the tape drive after startup or if you receive startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program as described in the documentation that comes with your computer. If all the indicators on either side of the tape drive blink in unison, there is a problem with the tape drive. Press the

12 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Unload button on the right side of the drive front panel to eject any tape that might be inserted and to reset the drive. If the problem persists, turn off the computer; then turn it back on.

Step 9. Installing backup and restore software

To use the drive, you must install an appropriate backup and restore application for your computer operating system. If you are using your own software, follow the directions that come with your software.

Step 10. Using Windows native tape utility

If you are trying to use this drive with the native tape utility of Windows NT or Windows 2000, please refer to the instructions under the device folder of the User’s Guide CD.

Completing your installation

To complete and test your internal tape drive installation:

1. Gently insert a tape cartridge into the internal tape drive’s slot (see “Loading a cartridge” on page 15). Slide the cartridge into the slot until the drive accepts the cartridge and loads it. A brief delay occurs while the drive identifies the cartridge type and state, and moves the tape to the data area. Then the green Media LED goes ON.

2. Use your backup software application to perform a sample backup-and-restore operation. The amber Drive LED goes ON as data is written to and/or read from the tape.

3. At the end of the operation, press the Eject button on the front of the internal tape drive to eject the cartridge from the drive (see “Unloading a cartridge” on page 16).

If you encountered any problems during this procedure, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting”, on page 23.

Chapter 2. Installation 13

14 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Chapter 3. Using the tape drive

This chapter describes how to operate your tape drive.

Using the appropriate media

The IBM DDS Gen 5 drive uses data-grade DDS cartridges, which comply with ANSI specifications listed in the “3.81 mm Helical-Scan Digital Computer Tape Cartridge for Information Interchange,” ANSI X3B5/89-156 standard.

For optimum performance and maximum storage capacity, use only IBM recommended data and cleaning cartridges. Other cartridges have not been tested by IBM. The latest IBM recommended list can be found by going to www-3.ibm.com/pc/support and searching for ″MIGR-39931″.

Handling cartridges

DDS cartridges are fragile. To protect your data cartridges and the information on them, observe the guidelines below.

Guidelines to follow Pitfalls to avoid

Use DDS cartridges at temperatures from 5° C (40° F) to 40° C (113° F). Cartridges can be stored at temperatures down to -40° C (-40° F).

Handle cartridges gently. Do not treat cartridges roughly or drop

Keep cartridges in plastic cases when they are not in use.

Apply just one label to the designated area on the cartridge. Affixing more labels can jam the drive.

If your data is important, consider reading data off of tapes and rewriting to new and perhaps more modern tapes every few years.

If cartridges are exposed to temperatures or humidities outside the specified operating environment, expose them to the operating environment for a time equal to the period that the cartridges were exposed to the out-of-specification environment (up to a maximum of 24 hours).

Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight, moisture, excessively dry or humid places, extreme changes in temperature or humidity, or X-rays. a maximum of 24 hours).

them. Do not try to clean the tape guides or tape

path inside the cartridge. Never touch the exposed tape media with

your fingers.

Never leave cartridges close to magnetic fields, such as near a monitor or telephone handset.

Do not read from or write to cartridges when a temperature change of 10° C per hour is occurring.

Loading a cartridge

Your DDS Gen 5 drive has a front-loading cartridge bay for easy operation. To load a cartridge:

1. Hold the cartridge so the label is facing up and the exposed media is facing the drive.

2. Gently insert the cartridge into the drive. The drive-bay door opens automatically when a cartridge is inserted.

After you insert the cartridge, there is a brief delay while the drive identifies the cartridge type and state, and moves the tape to the data area. Then the Media LED goes ON.

Initializing a blank cartridge

When you insert a blank cartridge into the drive for the first time, the drive takes from 10 to 12 seconds to determine that the tape is blank. The drive automatically initializes the tape as soon as it receives a SCSI “Write” command from the host computer. Initializing a blank tape takes about 30 seconds.

Unloading a cartridge

To unload a cartridge:

1. Be sure the Drive LED is OFF. Attention: To ensure integrity of your backups and restores, do not press the

Eject button when the Drive LED is ON.

2. Press the Eject button on the front panel of the drive to unload the cartridge. The drive automatically flushes the drive buffer to tape, rewinds the cartridge, updates the system log, and ejects the cartridge. This may take up to three minutes. Do not power-down the tape drive or host computer during this time.

16 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

Write-protecting a DDS cartridge

Write-protecting a DDS cartridge protects the data on the cartridge form being changed, overwritten, or deleted. To write-protect a cartridge, slide the write-protect tab on the back of the cartridge to the open position. To write-enable the cartridge, slide the write-protect tab so the hole is closed.

Attention: Write-protecting a cartridge does not protect the data on the cartridge from bulk-erasure or degaussing. Do not bulk erase DDS cartridges; otherwise, the pre-recorded servo information will be deleted, rendering the cartridge useless.

Tab in write enabled position and tab in write protected position

Chapter 3. Using the tape drive 17

Cleaning the tape heads

If excessive dust or debris collects at the tape heads, your drive may not be able to read from or write to tape. To avoid this situation, clean the drive’s tape heads:

1. After every 30 hours of tape motion

2. If the Clean LED goes ON or flashes

3. If your applications software or system management software asks you to

To clean tape heads, use only IBM recommended cleaning cartridges. The latest IBM recommended list can be found by going to www-3.ibm.com/pc/support and searching for ″MIGR-39931″.

Note: Do not use an audio DAT cleaning cartridge, as the drive cannot recognize it. Also, avoid liquids, swabs, and other methods other than those recommended in this section.

To clean the tape heads:

1. Insert a cleaning cartridge into the drive. The drive loads and runs the cleaning cartridge for about 30 seconds.

Note: If the cleaning cartridge runs for less than 30 seconds and the Clean LED is flashing, the cartridge has expired. Replace the cleaning cartridge with a new one and repeat step 1.

2. When the cleaning cartridge finishes cleaning the heads, the drive ejects the cartridge automatically.

3. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the drive and store the cartridge in a safe place.

Most cleaning cartridges are good for roughly 30 cleaning cycles. When the cleaning cartridge needs to be replaced, the entire tape is used up. In this case, the Clean LED will flash rapidly and the cleaning cartridge should be replaced.

Updating firmware

IBM periodically releases new firmware to fix problems or provide additional enhancements. The latest firmware, as well as instructions on how to load it, can be found by going to www-3.ibm.com/pc/support and searching for ″tapetool″.

LED status Description

ON continuously The drive is reading or writing the tape

(SCSI or tape movement is present).

Flashing rapidly A hardware fault occurred. If the fault

occurs immediately after powering on the drive, the Power-On Self-Test switch (switch

4) is enabled and a Power-On Self-Test has failed. If the front panel LEDs are flashing together, contact IBM Technical Support.

If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation, press the Eject button to remove the tape. If the tape does not eject within 2 minutes, press and hold the Eject button for more than 5 seconds. The tape should eject within 40 seconds. Contact IBM Technical Support for more information.

Note: If your backup software issues a SCSI “Prevent Media Removal” command, the Drive LED remains ON and the Eject button is disabled, so that the tape cannot be ejected accidentally. To eject the tape, use your backup software’s Eject command.

Chapter 5. Troubleshooting

This chapter provides suggestions for troubleshooting your drives in the unlikely event you encounter a problem with them.

SCSI ID problems

Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. The default SCSI ID for internal and external drives is 6. You should leave this default SCSI ID unchanged unless another device on the SCSI bus is already using this ID.

If the default SCSI ID is already in use, you can change the default SCSI ID on the drive using either jumpers on the back of the internal tape drives or the SCSI ID Selector switch on the back of the external SCSI drives.

SCSI termination problems

The DDS Gen 5 drive does not provide SCSI termination. Termination is provided by the included SCSI cable.

Mounting hardware problems

The internal drives are designed to install in most servers using the hardware accompanying the drives, without requiring additional items. However, if your server requires additional items to install the internal drives, or if any original server components are damaged or lost, contact IBM Technical Support.

Drive does not work

If the internal tape drive does not work:

1. Check the power connection to the drive.

2. If the connection is secure, replace the power cable with one that is known to

work.

3. If the drive still does not work, contact IBM Technical Support

Power-On Self-Test fails

If the drive fails its Power-On Self-Test:

1. Check for a cartridge in the drive. If you find one, eject it.

2. Power-down the drive and power it up again.

3. If the drive still fails its Power-On Self-Test, contact IBM Technical Support.

Computer does not boot

If the computer does not boot after you install the drive:

1. You forgot to reattach the computer’s power cable, which you removed when you installed the drive. Be sure all cables are connected properly to the computer.

2. Be sure the computer’s power cable is connected to a power outlet that is known to work. Plug into the outlet another appliance, such as a lamp, that you know to work. If the appliance does not work, the problem is with the outlet.

3. The power outlet connected to the computer is controlled by a wall outlet that is removing power from the outlet. Either switch outlets or set the wall switch so that power is applied to the outlet.

4. The computer has a second SCSI host adapter whose resources are conflicting with another adapter installed in the computer. Remove the conflicting device or consult the documentation that came with the device for suggestions about resolving the problem.

Computer does not recognize drive

If your computer does not recognize the drive:

1. Verify that the SCSI and power cables to the drive are installed properly.

2. The drive may be using a SCSI ID assigned to another SCSI device on the SCSI

bus. If so, reassign a unique SCSI ID to the drive or to the conflicting device.

3. Check that the SCSI bus is terminated properly. Note that the internal drive does not provide SCSI termination.

Backup program does not recognize drive

Write error

Hardware error

If your backup application program does not recognize the drive, use another application (such as Microsoft Windows Explorer, for example) to whether the drive is recognized.

If the other applications recognizes the drive, check the documentation that came with your backup program to determine whether the program needs a particular driver to be installed.

If the other application does not recognize the drive, the drive may not be installed or configured properly. Check your drive installation and configuration.

If the Media LED is flashing, a write error has occurred.

1. Use an IBM recommended cleaning cartridge to clean the tape heads (see “Cleaning the tape heads” on page 18.

2. Try to use the drive.

3. If the Media LED continues to flash, contact IBM Technical Support.

If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly, a hardware error has occurred. If the fault occurs immediately after powering on the drive, the Power-On Self Test switch (switch 4) is enabled and a Power-On Self-Test has failed. If the front panel LEDs are flashing together, contact IBM Technical Support.

If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation:

1. Press the Eject button to remove the tape.

2. If the tape does not eject within 2 minutes, press and hold the Eject button for

more than 5 seconds. The tape should eject within 40 seconds.

Appendix C. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-07 - 11/2002

Part 1 - General Terms

This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 Country-unique Terms, and Part3-Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term ″Machine″ means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term ″Machine″ does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise.

Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.

What this Warranty Covers

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (″Specifications″) which are available on request. The warranty period for the Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country or region in which you purchased the Machine.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

What this Warranty Does not Cover

This warranty does not cover the following: v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or

installed subsequently;

v failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine

capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;

v failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and

v any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with

or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.

The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the Machine or its parts.

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with ″how-to″ questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your entitlement to warranty service.

What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems

When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an initial diagnosis of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.

The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 Warranty Information.

You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code (microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs, device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine ) and other software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.

If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) (e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily replaceable parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.

If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

Exchange of a Machine or Part

When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least

32 DDS Gen 5 Tape Drive: User’s Guide

functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item.

Your Additional Responsibilities

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to:

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided: a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides; b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine; c. IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to

permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.

4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal

Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on your behalf any remaining Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include shipping the Machine for such processing to other IBM service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.

Limitation of Liability

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term ″Machine″ includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code (″LIC″).

Appendix C. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty - Z125-4753-07 - 11/2002 33

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4) LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Governing Law

Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM’s rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Statement of Limited Warranty, without regard to conflict of law principles.
