PDI-00650-00, Rev. A00

INTRODUCTION

This document describes the installation of an AM-650 (Tandberg MLR-1) SCSI 1/4" magnetic

streaming tape drive into an existing Alpha Micro computer system.

If you are installing an AM-650 tape drive into an external subsystem, use the installation

instructions shipped with the subsystem in conjunction with the drive-specific instructions in this

document.

These instructions are written for the experienced Alpha Micro Service Technician, so if you do not feel

comfortable performing the hardware and software procedures discussed below, please contact your

Alpha Micro dealer or the Alpha Micro Technical Assistance Center for help.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AM-650 is the Alpha Micro model name for the Tandberg MLR-1 magnetic tape drive. The AM-650 has

a storage capacity of up to 26 GB, depending on the type of data cartridge and compression method

used. The AM-650 can read and write to all of the following types of tape cartridges:

3M Cartridge Capacity

DC6150 150MB

DC6250 250MB

DC6320 320MB

DC6525 525MB

Magnus 1.0 1GB

Magnus 2.0 2GB

Imation 13GB 13GB or 26GB

These are maximum tape use figures. The actual amount of data you will be able to back up on a tape

depends on the number and size of the files being copied.

See the section “Reading and Writing Different Tape Formats,” later in this document, for

information on using different types of tape cartridges and setting data formats.

The AM-650 streaming tape product installation package consists of the tape drive itself and, possibly, a

mounting kit. Whether you get a mounting kit, and what is included in it, depends on the type of

computer chassis you have. The chart below shows which mounting kit goes with your chassis:

Chassis Type Mounting Kit

Rack Mount PDB-00625-60

Pedestal PDB-00625-61

AM-990 Not required

Eagle Deskside Not required

Make sure you have the correct mounting kit before you begin. If you’re replacing an existing streaming

tape drive, you don’t need a new mounting kit, regardless of your type of computer. The mounting

hardware for your existing drive will work with the AM-650.
