Introduction
This chapter provides an introductory overview of the LTO-5 Tape Drive.
Topics incl u d e :
• Overview
• Drive Models
• Features
The LTO-5 Tape Drive is a high-performance 16-channel tape drive that
complies with the LTO interchange specifications. The drive is suited for midrange to high-end servers, mainframe systems, and tape library automation
systems.
The LTO-5 Tape Drive uses Ultrium data cartridges. Its capacity is maximized
using intelligent data compression. The drive has a native capacity of 1500
Gbytes (1.5 TB) or 3000 Gbytes (3.0 TB) assuming 2:1 data compression.
The LTO-5 Tape Drive has a 5¼-inch form factor with automatic
electromechanical cartridge soft load. It is available in two models:
•Internal
•Tabletop

Drive Models
Internal The internal model (see figure 1 for the half-height model and figure 2
for the full-height model) is a 5¼-inch drive that you can install inside
the drive bay of a:
• Computer workstation or server system
• Rackmount drive enclosure
Ta ble top The tabletop model is a 5¼-inch drive that is already mounted inside a
stand-alone external drive enclosure with a built-in power supply.

Handling Precautions and Installation Guidelines
Always observe the following precautions and guidelines when
handling and installing LTO-5 Tape Drives:
• Internal, at all times
•Tabletop, when removed from its free-standing enclosure
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.

Preinstallation Requirements
Handling Precautions
(continued)
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 SAS SFF-8482 cable for an internal or rackmount drive
• 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
Due to the high speed of the LTO-5 Tape
Drive, do not connect more than one
LTO-5 drive to the same channel on a
host SCSI adapter.
• 26-pin SFF-8088 mini-SAS style interface cable for a tabletop
drive
• Backup application software that supports the tape drive. For a list
of the backup software applications that have been tested with the
LTO-5 Tape Drive, contact your sales representative
Unpacking and Inspecting the Drive
LTO-5 Tape Drive User’s Guide 7
Although each LTO-5 Tape Drive is inspected and carefully packaged at
the factory, damage can occur:
• In shipment
• When being unpacked
Observe the handling precautions listed in Handling Precautions and
Installation Guidelines and carefully unpack and inspect the LTO-5 Tape
Drive as follows:
Chapter 2 Installation Procedures
Installing the Internal LTO-5 Tape Drive
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 drive supplier’s
representative immediately of any damage.
4 Always save the shipping container and packing materials for any
future reshipment.
Installing the Internal LTO-5 Tape Drive
The installation of the internal LTO-5 tape drive differs depending on the
drive type: Half-Height or Full-Height. Refer to the following sections for
your drive type.
