Overview
This section of the document provides a physical description
of the switches, indicators and connectors on the front and
rear panels of the 4000/7000DLT Series. Additional
information describes other requirements (additional
hardware and/or software) needed to utilize the
4000/7000DLT Series.
Description
The 4000/7000DLT Series consists of two models, the
DLT
TM
4000 and the DLT
TM
7000. They are all SCSI-2
compatible, high performance, streaming tape cartridge data
storage devices designed for storage of near-line and off-line
data. All models use data compression, compaction, and
Digital Linear Tape (DLT) to obtain the capacities shown in
Table 2-1. The 4000/7000DLT Series are equipped with a 2-
line by 20-character backlit LCD display. The LCD displays
drive status messages, error messages, and drive Power-On
Self-Test (POST) results messages.
The 4000/7000DLT Series are equipped with a 5
1/4
inch form
factor, half-inch tape drive. The design includes a dual-
channel read/write head, Digital Lempel-Ziv (DLZ) high-
efficiency data compression, and tape mark directory to
maximize data throughput and minimize data access time.
Used for unattended backups or archiving, the 4000/7000DLT
Series allows you to back up a higher data capacity at higher
speed than either 8mm or 4mm DAT-based drives. Table 2-2
lists the maximum compressed mode transfer rates of the two
models:
