required), refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User’s Guide. For
applications that use other device drivers, see the application’s documentation to
determine which drivers to use.
In addition to using IBM tape cartridges with up to 100 GB capacity, the Ultrium
Tape Drive also offers read/write capability for certified LTO Ultrium tape cartridges
that have capacities of 50 GB, 30 GB, and 10 GB.
The Ultrium Tape Drive records by using a linear, serpentine recording method on
1/2-inch, magnetic tape.

Physical Characteristics of the SCSI Interface
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200 contains one SCSI port for attachment to the
server. The SCSI connections and terminations are contained in the single J1
connector. The J1 connector contains the connections for the SCSI signals and
grounds, the setting of the SCSI ID, the setting of the SCSI bus termination control,
and the connection for the drive power and ground.
The Ultrium Tape Drive Model T200 supports differential SCSI cables with
high-density, 68-pin connectors. All cables are for field or plant installation, and are
available in the following lengths:
v 0.5 m (1.6 ft)
v 5.0 m (16 ft)
v 10 m (32 ft)
v 25 m (82 ft)
To order a cable, see “Appendix A. Tools and Supplies” on page 81.
Address Assignments
For enhanced functions in automated library systems, the SCSI drive contains an
RS-422 interface. If the drive is connected to a library, its SCSI address can be set
through the RS-422 interface.
Another option to setting the SCSI address is by attaching jumpers to the SCSI ID
connector (see “Step 4. Set the SCSI ID (SCSI Drive Only)” on page 14).
