Connecting the External Tape Drive


 


Damage from electrostatic discharge is possible. See Protecting Against ESD Damage for more information.

The external tape drive must be connected to the DEFINITY AUDIX to back up the data that will be restored on the Intuity AUDIX. System components changed between Release 3.2 and 4.0 of DEFINITY AUDIX.

Continue with correct procedure for your DEFINITY AUDIX:

Connecting Release 3.1 or 3.2

To connect the external tape drive to DEFINITY AUDIX Release 3.1 or 3.2 for the backup:

  1. Log in to the DEFINITY AUDIX machine using the craft login.

    2. The system displays the DEFINITY AUDIX Command Prompt screen.

  2. Enter remove tape

    3. The system displays the following message: 

    Press [enter] to execute or [cancel] to abort:

  3. Press F3 (Enter).
  4. Remove the tape.
  5. Enter reset system shutdown to shut down the DEFINITY AUDIX.

    6. The system displays the following message: 

    Press [enter] to execute or [cancel] to abort:

  6. Press F3 (Enter).

    7. The system displays the following message:

    Shutdown complete


     


    Damage from electrostatic discharge is possible. See Protecting Against ESD Damage for more information.

  7. Remove the DEFINITY AUDIX from the host switch.
  8. Remove the SCSI cable and clips that connect the DEFINITY AUDIX tape drive to the Alarm Board (TN2169 or TN2170). Remove the tape drive from the Alarm Board.

    9. See Removing the Retaining Clips from the Tape Drive. For more information about removing the tape drive, see the DEFINITY AUDIX Maintenance manual.

  9. Locate the short, flat SCSI cable from the migration kit. Complete Step a through Step D to install the cable:
      1. Position the cable with the red edge down. Route the cable into the front of the circuit pack, through the opening left by the removed tape drive.
      2. Attach the cable to the tape drive connector on the Alarm Board.
      3. Connect one end of the long cable to the external tape drive.

        4. Both the long cable and external tape drive can be found in the migration kit.

      4. Connect the other end of the long cable to the short cable that is connected to the Alarm Board.
  10. Connect AC power to the external tape drive and turn it on.
  11. Insert the 525 MB tape from the migration kit into the drive.
     

    Note: Make sure that the tape you insert is not write protected.

  12. Insert the DEFINITY AUDIX back into the host switch and allow the system to boot up.
  13. Return to the procedures checklist.

Connecting Release 4.0

To connect the external tape drive to DEFINITY AUDIX Release 4.0 for the backup:

  1. Log on to the DEFINITY AUDIX machine using the craft login.

    2. The system displays the DEFINITY AUDIX Command Prompt screen.

  2. Enter reset system shutdown to shut down the DEFINITY AUDIX.
  3. Verify that the DEFINITY AUDIX is shut down and then remove it from the host switch.
     


    Be careful when handling the system. The power cable to the magneto-optical (MO) drive is fragile and can easily break.

  4. Disconnect the H600-501 SCSI cable from the SCSI bus connector on the TN568 circuit card and from the MO disk drive. See the TN568 Circuit Card.
  5. Attach the SCSI cable from the Tandberg tape drive to the DEFINITY AUDIX system by following these steps:
      1. Firmly seat the SCSI cable from the external tape drive, red edge up, into the SCSI bus connector on the TN568 circuit pack. To seat the cable, you must lift the retaining clips on the SCSI bus connector away from the TN568 circuit pack.
         


        You must press the SCSI cable firmly into the connector. The external tape drive will not function if this cable is improperly seated.

      2. Route the cable along the left side of the circuit pack. See SCSI Cable Routing.
      3. Connect the cable to the external tape drive.
  6. Connect AC power to the external tape drive and turn it on.
  7. Insert the 525 MB tape from the migration kit into the drive.
     

    Note: Make sure the tape is not write-protected.

  8. Insert the DEFINITY AUDIX system into the host switch cabinet.
      1. Hold the DEFINITY AUDIX system assembly by the outside edge of the faceplate and press the long SCSI cable against the left side of the DEFINITY AUDIX system.
      2. Line up the circuit pack with the bottom guide of the slot.
      3. With the assembly properly aligned in the slot, insert it with a single firm push, and lock it in place by pushing up the securing latch on the faceplate.
         


        If the switch is powered on, the DEFINITY AUDIX 4.0 system automatically boots up when seated in the slot. Damage to the hard disk could occur if the assembly is removed while booting. Therefore, do not adjust or reinsert the assembly while the DEFINITY AUDIX 4.0 system is booting up.

  9. As the DEFINITY AUDIX 4.0 system boots up, watch the three LEDs on the faceplate.

    10. If the DEFINITY AUDIX system does not come up to the AUDIX state (Red-off, Green-off, Yellow-on) within 10 minutes, write down the states displayed on the LEDs, and refer to the associated troubleshooting procedures in DEFINITY AUDIX System — Maintenance, 585-300-121.

  10. Return to the procedures checklist.
