Tandberg tape drive
Introduction
All new Modular Option EC systems ship with the Tandberg
TDC4220 tape drive. This tape drive has a maximum storage
capacity of 2.5 Gbytes. The Tandberg tape drive is compatible
with all existing Meridian Mail tapes.
Note: You do not require an upgrade to the Tandberg drive for
conversion from an earlier release of Meridian Mail to Release
13, as the existing Archive (Viper) tape drive is fully
compatible. If you choose to install the new Tandberg tape
drive, refer to Chapter 15, “Converting from an existing
Modular Option EC system to Release 13,” for detailed
instructions.
An LED indicator light on the front panel of the tape drive
shows the current status of the drive’s operation. Refer to the
table below for an explanation of each mode.
Inserting and removing tapes
To insert a tape, press the Release button to open the door. (If
there is a tape in the drive already, remove it.) Gently push the
tape into the drive and close the door. To remove a tape, press
the Release button to open the door and remove the tape.
