The information in this document is structured into three
different levels:
(1) the simplified procedures which are the
recommended procedures, (2) the summary information for the more
experienced person, and (3) the more detailed information for
the inexperienced person.
The simplified procedures located in Section 2 of this document,
provides a quick reference outline (i.e., recommended sequence)
of the procedures in this document.
The detailed procedures located in Section 3 of this manual are
used to reinforce the simplified procedures in Section 2. The
summary information at the top and at the start of each text
page provides an overview of that page. The information located
directly
below the summary information is the more detailed
information.
In both cases, all the information is supported by
an exhibit (i.e., illustration, table, listing, etc.).
This section describes the tape subsystem and provides a list of
reference
documents and a list of tools needed to assemble and
install the tape subsystem.
This section provides the Tape Subsystem (GCR/PE) Simplified
Installation
Procedures Checklist.
This section provides the detailed procedures to initially
assemble and install a tape subsystem and to assemble and
install a tape subsystem to an existing system (system
modification). Section 3 also provides device switch setting
and jumper installation or removal information, including device
checkout information.

Introduction
TAPE (GCRlPE) SUBSYSTEM
Sumnary
Device
US12-01
This document is intended for the Customer Service Representa-
tive (CSR) who is responsible for assembling, installing, and
performing the initial checkout pr'ocedures for the Tabletop Tape
Group Coded Recording/Phase Encoded (GCR/PE) Subsystem.
The Tabletop Tape (GCR/PE) Subsystem is composed of a Magnetic
Tape Unit (MTU) drive and device cables. Hereafter, the tape
drive
itself will be referred to as the device (see Figure 1-1).
The device performs formatting and translation of data for
reading
and writing ECMA and ANSI-compatible, 9-track, 1/2-inch
magnetic tape
at 6250 bits per inch (bpi) in GCR format and 1600
bpi in PE format. The device runs at a low speed of 25 inches
per
second (ips) and at a high speed (streaming mode) of 75
ips. Device rewind time is approximately 2.5 minutes for a
2400-foot reel. Load time is approximately 15 seconds. Self-
testing
is designed into the device and off-line testing is
provided by test and verification routines.

Introduction
LOCATING THE TAPE SUBSYSTEM
Sumnary
System
.' .
1-4
The tape subsystem is composed of a tabletop device(s) that is
connected to a DPS 6 PLUS Model 400, 410, or 420, system.
The tabletop device is capable of being placed on top of three
different style cabinets.
The Model 400 system cabinet contains a rear bulkhead for the
device cables
and the Model 410 or Model 420 contains a side
bulkhead for the device cables (see Figure 1-2). Also, as shown
in Figure 1-3, a maximum of four devices can be daisy chained
from the cabinet. The maximum device cable length from the
cabinet to the
last device in the daisy chain is 40 feet. The
maximum device cable length between the cabinet and the device
bulkhead is 15 feet and six inches.
The tape drive is a tabletop device that can be placed on top of
three different types of cabinets.
The three different cabinets
are
as follows: (1) a device pedestal cabinet, (2) a fixed disk
cabinet,
and (3) a corner extension cabinet.
