G-2 Quantum DLT 8000 Tape System
Enabling and Clearing the DLT 7000 Emulation Feature
CAUTION
Use Extreme Caution when enabling the DLT 7000 emulation feature: the DLT
7000 emulation mode changes the operation of the tape drive and fundamentally
changes the way data and media are handled.
• Do NOT enable/clear the DLT 7000 emulation feature with a tape cartridge
loaded in the tape drive.
• Do NOT enable/clear the DLT 7000 emulation feature while the drive is in
operation.
1. Enable and clear the DLT 7000 emulation mode via the SCSI bus by changing the
EMUL7K_MODE parameter (in EEPROM) on the Vendor Unique EEPROM
Parameter Page.
• When EMUL7K_MODE is set to 1, DLT 7000 emulation is enabled on the
drive.
• When EMUL7K_MODE set to 0, it restores the drive to standard DLT 8000
operation.
2. After the DLT 7000 Emulation Mode feature has been enabled, it is critical that
you reinitialize the SCSI bus interface using one of the following methods:
• Issue a bus reset (this resets all devices on the bus);
• Issue the Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI, an interface
specification for sending commands to SCSI host adapters) Device Reset
command SCSI_RESET_DEV (this resets the specific device changed); or
• Issue the ASPI command SRB COMMANDRESCANBUS, as described in the
Win 32 ASPI Specification.
