Before Installing the DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your System
Avoiding Electrostatic
Damage
Your internal tape drive has very sensitive components that are prone to damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use extreme care when handling the drive, as it can be
damaged by ESD.
Before handling the drive, read the ESD instructions that follow to prevent damage to
the drive.
• Wear an ESD-preventive grounding wrist strap or observe similar ESD precautions
when working with the drive. Be sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact. Do
not remove the wrist strap until you finish working with the drive.
• Before you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
• Avoid contact between the drive, other equipment, and clothing. The wrist strap
only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on
clothing can still cause damage.
• When the drive is not being used, keep it in its antistatic bag.
• Hold the drive by its edges only. Avoid touching any exposed parts on the printed
circuit board.
• Always place the drive on top of or inside the antistatic bag to reduce the chance of
ESD damage
Preinstallation
Requirements
In addition to the contents included with your internal tape drive, you need the
following items to install your internal tape drive.
•AUSB2.0port
• 5.25-inch half-height bay (for internal drive)
• Backup application software that supports the internal tape drive. For a list of the
latest backup software applications tested with the internal DAT 320 tape drives,
please visit our Web site at http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/
Index.aspx#
Unpacking and
Inspecting the Drive
Before you unpack the contents of your drive package, inspect the shipping containers
for damage. If you spot damage to the container, notify your carrier immediately.
When you unpack the package, compare the items received with those on the packing
list. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your place of purchase
immediately.

DAT 320
Required Tools The following is a list of the tools you will need. You may need additional items,
depending on your installation requirements.
• Flat blade, Phillips or TORX screwdriver, depending on the type of screws used by
your computer
Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server
Installing the internal DAT 320 tape drive consists of the following major steps:
•Preparing Mounting Bay
•Attaching Mounting Hardware
•Installing the Tape Drive
•Attaching the USB Cable
•Connecting the USB Cable from the Tape Drive to the Server
•Attaching the Power and USB Cables to the Tape Drive
•Securing the Drive
Preparing Mounting
Bay
Caution: To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or tape drive, ensure that
the server is disconnected from the main power supply while you install the
drive.
1Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
2Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected
peripherals.
3Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server’s
documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal cables or
power cables from other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have
to do this, make a note of their position and connections so you can put them back
correctly later.
4You are now ready to install your tape drive.
Attaching Mounting
Hardware
If your server requires special rails or other hardware to install the tape drive, mount
them on the tape drive now. If your server does not require special mounting hardware,
proceed to Installing the Tape Drive.

4Installing the Internal DAT 320 Tape Drive in Your Server
DAT 320 Quick Start Guide
Caution: Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an
antistatic wrist strap if one is available. If not, after you have disconnected
power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare metal part of
the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing
it.
Note: If mounting hardware is supplied with your tape drive, it may not be exactly the
same as shown in the illustrations.
Different models of server require different mounting methods. The server may also
incorporate a locking mechanism to hold the tape drive in place.
Please check your server documentation to ascertain the correct method of mounting
and to check whether mounting hardware is provided with the server.
Mounting Rails
Some servers require mounting rails. These may be metal or plastic rails attached to the
filler panel of the server's drive bay.
1Use a regular Phillips screwdriver to attach the appropriate rails. Use M3 screws 5
mm (0.2 in).
Ensure you have the M3 screws. The rails may be attached to the filler panel by
screws of a different thread/size type and these should not be used. If in doubt,
refer to your server documentation.
Mounting Screws
Other server models only require the use of special locating screws with no mounting
rail.
1Use a screwdriver to attach the appropriate screws. You may need to purchase the
M3 screws separately. Position the screws (see Figure 1).

2Attach the appropriate mounting hardware. Refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation for instructions.
• If you are installing on a server that requires a tray, place the tape drive in the
tray.
• If you are installing in a server that requires mounting rails, fasten the rails to
the tape drive.
• Some servers have snap-on mounting rails attached to the filler panel. These can
be removed and attached to the tape drive with screws.
Installing the Tape Drive To install the tape drive:
1Slide the tape drive into the open bay aligning the tray or rails with the slots in the
bay (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Installing the Tape
Drive
If your server does not use mounting hardware, check that the holes in the chassis are
aligned with the holes in the side of the tape drive.
Do not secure the drive at this point because you may have to move the drive to get the
cables into place.

Attaching the USB
Cable
Decide Which Cable to Use
There are several options for connecting the tape drive to your server:
Connecting the USB
Cable from the Tape
Drive to the Server
To an Internal USB 2.0 Port
1Use the schematic on the inside of the server panel to check whether your server has
an internal USB 2.0 port and locate its position.
2Use the appropriate cable to connect to the server.
• A standard 5-pin USB Type B cable is provided with the tape drive (see Figure 3).

Purchase a special USB cable and Cable Routing Kit. The Cable Routing Kit consists of a
bracket with attached cable on one side that connects to the server’s external port and a
Type A USB socket on the other side. Make sure you orientate the bracket correctly when
you fit it (see Figure 4).
1Remove a spare blanking plate from the rear panel of the server.
2Fit the bracket with attached the cable and fix it to the server. Make sure the cable is
outside of the server and connect it to the server’s external USB port (see Figure 4).
3Attach the standard USB cable to the bracket (type A connector) (see Figure 4).

2Ensure blanking plates are in place over empty bays and replace the cover on the
server.
Completing Your
Installation
To complete and test your internal tape drive installation:
1Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the drive in place.
2Replace the computer cover.
3Reconnect the power cord to the computer’s power connector.
4Turn on the computer.
5If necessary install the DAT320 O/S driver.
6Install your backup software program. The documentation that came with your
software should describe this procedure.
7Gently insert a tape cartridge into the internal tape drive’s slot. Slide the cartridge
into the slot until the drive accepts the cartridge and loads it. A brief delay occurs
while the drive identifies the cartridge type and state, and moves the tape to the
data area. Then the green Ready LED goes ON.
8Use your backup software application to perform a sample backup-and-verify
operation. The Ready green LED flashes as data is written to and/or read from the
tape.
9At the end of the operation, press the Eject button on the front of the internal tape
drive to eject the cartridge from the drive.

You should also consider the following safety points:
• Install the drive in an enclosure that limits the user’s access to live parts, gives
adequate system stability, and provides the necessary grounding for the drive.
• Provide the correct voltages (+5 VDC and +12 VDC) based on the regulation
applied—Extra Low Voltage (SEC) for UL and CSA, and Safety Extra Low Voltage for
