Page 2 Installation Instructions: AM-65X 1/4" Streaming Tape Drive

PDI-00651-00, Rev. A01

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-651 and AM-652 tape drives may be installed on Eagle 250 and 450, AM6000, AM6060,

AM7000 and later computer systems. The AM-653 tape drive is only qualified for use on Eagle 800, AM-

8000 and later computer systems

The AM-65X 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 (old style) PDB-00625-60

Pedestal (old style) PDB-00625-61

AM-990 Not required

Eagle Deskside Not required

Eagle 800 or AM-8000 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-65X.

The AM-65X has the same environmental specifications as your computer.

The AM-65X is supported only on the SCSI-2 bus (either narrow with the appropriate adapter, or

wide). It is not supported on the SASI bus found on older AMOS computers.

Tape cartridges are available from Alpha Micro for use in your AM-65X tape drive. Depending upon the

model number of your drive, order the following part number:

Device Cartridge

Cartridge Part Number

AM-651 SLR7 PRA-00057-06

AM-652 SLR60 PRA-00057-07

AM-653 SLR75 PRA-00057-08

TOOLS REQUIRED

For most installations, the only tool you will need to install the AM-65X is a #2 Phillips-head

screwdriver.

PREPARING THE AM-65X FOR INSTALLATION

Before installing the AM-65X, you should make sure its configuration jumpers are set correctly. These

jumpers are found on the back of the tape drive, as shown in Figure 1. Specifically, you need to set the

jumpers determining the SCSI ID for the drive, and make sure the SCSI termination power jumper is

removed. The next few sections discuss SCSI IDs and SCSI bus termination.
