DDS-4 / DAT 72
Installing the Desktop and Internal Tape Drive
Congratulations. You have purchased the
finest, most reliable digital data storage
(DDS) drive available. The DDS-4 and
DAT 72 DDS drives represent Quantum’s
commitment to engineering reliable and
durable tape drive products that
implement leading-edge technology
designed for computer environments that
require high-performance, high-capacity
data storage, the DDS-4 and DAT 72 drives
are based on a 3.5-inch mechanism and
are available as internal, desktop, and
rackmount tape drives. The drives
combine established Digital Audio Tape
(DAT) technology, high-density recording,
and hardware data-compression
capabilities with Quantum’s proven
computer-grade design to provide
unmatched reliability and performance
characteristics among DDS products.

2 In addition to the contents included with your desktop tape drive, you need the
following items:
• A SCSI host bus adapter that is properly installed and configured in a host
computer.
• A 50-to-68 pin adapter, if your computer has a narrow SCSI interface
connector.
• Backup application software that supports the tape drive. For a list of the
latest backup software applications tested with the DDS-4 and DAT 72 tape
drives, please visit our Web site at
3 Review the drive's default settings and change them if necessary: (For detailed
setting information and the location of switches, please refer to your User's
Guide on the CD-ROM.)

Important Safety Precautions
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

(termination disabled)

(termination enabled)
Example 2: SCSI termination in a system
that has both internal and external SCSI devices.
ESD. Before handling the drive, read these ESD instructions 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.
• 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.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch
a metal or grounded surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.

DDS-4 / DAT 72 Installing the Desktop and Internal Tape Drive
• 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.

3 Before proceeding with the installation, gather the tools
1 Unpack the contents of your drive package. If any item is
damaged, please contact your place of purchase
immediately.
2 In addition to the contents included with your tape drive,
you need the following items:
• A SCSI host bus adapter (for SCSI drives) or SATA host
bus adapter (for SATA drives) that is properly installed
and configured in a host computer
You may need additional items, depending on your installation requirements.

you will need to install the internal tape drive into the
computer mounting bay. The following list identifies some
of the tools you will need:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flatblade screwdriver, if your computer uses flathead
screws
• TORX screwdriver, if your computer uses TORX screws
• Computer documentation, which you can refer to
during the installation

5 Turn off your computer, remove its covers and power cord,
and select a mounting bay for the drive. Depending on
your drive, select a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch bay.

screws.
7 Install the data and power connectors:
For SCSI drives only a Connect a SCSI interface cable to the drive.
The internal tape drives can be used with a Wide SCSI
interface, either Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or
Single-ended (16-bit Wide mode). The tape drive
automatically detects whether the SCSI bus is LVD or
single ended. Be sure the internal tape drive is not the
