SDT-10000/SDT-11000 DDS-4
Tape Drive
Congratulation on your purchase of the Sony DDS-4 drive SDT-10000/ SDT-11000.
This drive is a high capacity data storage device using 4mm DAT (Digital Audio Tape) technology. The SDT-10000/SDT-11000 drive achieves high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features.
The Sony SDT-10000/SDT-11000 drive stores data on tape using a standard format called DDS (Digital Data Storage), DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS- 2, DDS-DC and DCLZ formats. These formats are used by many other DDS tape drive manufacturers, providing a broad range of compatible tape drives.
The Sony SDT-10000/SDT-11000 is fully READ and WRITE compatible with the DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS-2, DDS and DDS-DC format tapes.

Installation
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
–mechanical shock and vibration
–direct sunlight
Operation
*Do not move the drive while it is operating. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
*Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from low to high in temperature. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is turned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, a malfunction may occur.
*Do not turn off the drive while a tape is inside the drive.
Transportation
*Keep the original packing materials for possible future shipments of the drive.
*Be sure to remove any tapes from drive prior to transportation. After removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packaging.
Notice of SCSI Termination
This SDT-10000/SDT-11000 conforms to the Microsoft PC97 Hardware Design Guide which requires the internal drive to be terminated with an external terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements
SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
