LTO-5 Tape Drive
Quick Start Guide
LTO Ultrium tape drives leverage LTO technology and exclusive features to
provide the most reliable and affordable tape data protection to medium
and large businesses.
The LTO-5 tape drive is available in the following models:
• LTO-5 Half-Height Internal tape drive (TC-L52AN-BR and EY)
• LTO-5 Half-Height external tape drive (TC-L52BN-AR)
• 1U Rackmount (TC-L53CN-AR)

• LTO-5 Full-Height Internal tape drive (TC-L51AN-BR)
• LTO-5 Full-Height external tape drive (TC-L51BN-AR)
• 3U Rackmount (TC-L51FN-AR)
These drives are the most reliable Ultrium drives on the market, delivering
reliability features to extend media life and Variable-speed Transfer to
automatically match the host's data transfer rate. Combined with
SmartVerify to concurrently verify all data written to the tape, these
features make LTO drives a sound investment and a complete data
protection solution.

Handling Precautions and Installation Guidelines
2 Before Installing the LTO-5 Tape Drive
Always observe the following precautions and guidelines when handling and installing
LTO- 5 Tap e Drive s :
• Internal, at all times
•Tabletop, when removed from its
free-standing enclosure
LTO-5
Handling Precautions
• Internal drives have exposed components that are
sensitive to static electricity. To reduce the possibility of
damage from static discharge, the drives are packaged
in a protective antistatic bag. Do not remove the drive
from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
• 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.
Also, 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.
• Before removing the drive from the antistatic bag, touch
a grounded metal surface to discharge any static
electricity buildup from your body.
• Handle the drive by its sides rather than by the top cover
to reduce the risk of dropping the drive or damaging it
during installation.
• Either lay the drive on a nonconductive surface or put it
back inside the protective antistatic bag to reduce the
chance of damage from static discharge
Preinstallation Requirements
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the LTO-5 Tape Drive, make sure you have:
• A serial SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) installed and properly configured in the host
computer
• Interface components, either:
• 29-pin SFF-8482 SAS cable
• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop drive
• Backup application software that supports the tape drive.
• For optimum performance, do not connect more than
two LTO-5 drives to the same host bus adapter (HBA).

Product Name Quick Start Guide
Unpacking and Inspecting the Drive
Although each LTO-5 Tape Drive is inspected and carefully packaged at the factory,
damage can occur in shipment or when the drive is being unpacked.
Observe the handling precautions in Handling Precautions and Installation Guidelines
and carefully unpack and inspect the LTO-5 Tape Drive as follows:
1 Visually inspect the shipping container and notify your carrier immediately of any
damage.
2 Place the shipping container on a flat, clean, stable surface and carefully remove the
contents.
3 Visually inspect the LTO-5 Tape Drive and notify your sales representative
immediately of any damage.
4 Always save the shipping container and packing materials for any future
reshipment.
ESD 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 ESD. Before handling the drive, read the following instructions.
• 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.
• 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.
Installing the Internal LTO-5 Tape Drive

Product Name Quick Start Guide
Note: Use these drives only in equipment where the combination has been
determined to be suitable by an appropriate certification organization (for
example, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. or the Canadian Standards Association
in North America).
You should also consider the following safety points:
• Install the drive in an enclosure that limits the user’s access to live parts, gives
adequate system stability, and provides the necessary grounding for the drive.
• Provide the correct voltages (+5 VDC and +12 VDC) based on the regulation
applied—Extra Low Voltage (SEC) for UL and CSA, and Safety Extra Low Voltage for
BSI and VDE (if applicable).
