DAT 320 Quick Start Guide
Before Installing the DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your System
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 the ESD instructions that follow to prevent damage to
the drive.
• 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.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
• 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.
• When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
• Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts on the printed
circuit board.
• Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce the chance of
ESD damage
Preinstallation Requirements
Unpacking and Inspecting the Drive
In addition to the contents included with your internal tape drive, you need the
following items to install your internal tape drive.
•A USB 2.0 port
• 5.25-inch half-height bay (for internal drive)
• Backup application software that supports the internal tape drive. For a list of the
latest backup software applications tested with the internal DAT 320 tape drives,
please visit our Web site at http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/
Index.aspx#
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.
2 Before Installing the DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your System
DAT 320
Required Tools The following is a list of the tools you will need. You may need additional items,
depending on your installation requirements.
• Flat blade, Phillips or TORX screwdriver, depending on the type of screws used by
your computer
Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server
Installing the internal DAT 320 tape drive consists of the following major steps:
• Preparing Mounting Bay
• Attaching Mounting Hardware
• Installing the Tape Drive
• Attaching the USB Cable
• Connecting the USB Cable from the Tape Drive to the Server
Preparing Mounting Bay
• Attaching the Power and USB Cables to the Tape Drive
• Securing the Drive
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that
the server is disconnected from the main power supply while you install the
drive.
1 Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
2 Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected
peripherals.
3 Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server’s
documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or
power cables from other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have
to do this, make a note of their position and connections so you can put them back
correctly later.
4 You are now ready to install your tape drive.
Attaching Mounting Hardware
Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server 3
If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount
them on the tape drive now. If your server does not require special mounting hardware,
proceed to Installing the Tape Drive
.

Caution: Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an
Note: If mounting hardware is supplied with your tape drive, it may not be exactly the
Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also
incorporate a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place.
Please check your server documentation to ascertain the correct method of mounting
and to check whether mounting hardware is provided with the server.
Mounting Rails
Some servers require mounting rails. These may be metal or plastic rails attached to the
filler panel of the server's drive bay.

power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare metal part of
the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing
it.
same as shown in the illustrations.
Figure 1 Attaching Mounting
Screws
1 Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use M3 screws 5
mm (0.2 in).
Ensure you have the M3 screws. The rails may be attached to the filler panel by
screws of a different thread/size type and these should not be used. If in doubt,
refer to your server documentation.
Mounting Screws
Other server models only require the use of special locating screws with no mounting
rail.
1 Use a screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. You may need to purchase the
M3 screws separately. Position the screws (see Figure 1
).
4 Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server
2 Attach the appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation for instructions.
• If you are installing on a server that requires a tray, place the tape drive in the
tray.
• If you are installing in a server that requires mounting rails, fasten the rails to
the tape drive.
• Some servers have snap-on mounting rails attached to the filler panel. These can
be removed and attached to the tape drive with screws.
Installing the Tape Drive To install the tape drive:
1 Slide the tape drive into the open bay aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the
bay (see Figure 2
Figure 2 Installing the Tape
Drive
).
DAT 320
If your server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis are
aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive.
Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the drive to get the
cables into place.

Purchase a special USB cable and Cable Routing Kit. The Cable Routing Kit consists of a
bracket with attached cable on one side that connects to the server’s external port and a
Type A USB socket on the other side. Make sure you orientate the bracket correctly when
you fit it (see Figure 4

Completing Your Installation
2 Ensure blanking plates are in place over empty bays and replace the cover on the
server.
To complete and test your internal tape drive installation:
1 Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the drive in place.
2 Replace the computer cover.
3 Reconnect the power cord to the computer’s power connector.
4 Turn on the computer.
5 If necessary install the DAT320 O/S driver.
6 Install your backup software program. The documentation that came with your
software should describe this procedure.
7 Gently insert a tape cartridge into the internal tape drive’s slot. 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 Ready LED goes ON.
8 Use your backup software application to perform a sample backup-and-verify
operation. The Ready green LED flashes as data is written to and/or read from the
tape.
9 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.
