• SDX-300C Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT-1): Use the
original factory default dip switch settings (on the bottom of
the drive) for your AIT drives, not the settings for your host
operating system as described in the “UNIX Compatibility
Guide.” The ‘Sony standard shipped from the factory’
settings are illustrated in the “UNIX Compatibility Guide”
(Revision 10 10/06/98).
• SDX-500 (AIT-2): Use the original factory default dip
switch settings for your AIT-2 drives, not the settings for
your host operating system as described in “SDX-500
Series Installation Manual” Version 1.0.
Configure GY-2120
To correctly operate with AMASS, perform the following tasks
on the GY-2120 drive:
• Put all eight dip switches, which are located in the back of
the unit, in the OFF position.
• Set the 3-position (SCSI/ON/OFF) COMP switch on the
front access panel to the SCSI position.
• Although the drive can be set to enable and disable
compression, the AMASS volformat command (where you
can enable and disable compression) will override this drive
setting.
Recovery Messages
When changing media in the drives, the following AMASS
recovery messages may occasionally appear for these DTF
drives. Typically, these messages are generated if volumes are
improperly unloaded, perhaps in response to a power failure.
