Observe the following notes for successful operation of the Tape Blade. Use of the Tape Blade
ignoring the notes will cause malfunctions or failures of the Tape Blade .
Tape Blade
– The Tape Blade must be installed in the Blade Enclosure (SIGMABLADE).
– Install or remove Tape Blades one by one.
– Hold the portions covered with metal plates when a Tape Blade is installed or removed.
To carry a Tape Blade, put it into the case in which the Tape Blade was contained at
the purchase and pack it into the package.
– The Tape Blade is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch the metal
frame of the chassis to discharge static electricity from your body before handling the
Tape Blade. Do not touch the Tape Blade terminals or onboard parts by a bare hand
and place the Tape Blade directly on the desk.
– Store the unit under the storage condition (temperature: –10 to 55°C, humidity: 20 to
80%, without condensation) to allow built-in devices and the unit to operate correctly
in the next operation.
– The power of the Tape Blade is controlled by the CPU blade connected.
– The Tape Blade contains precision component that is easily affected by drastic
temperature change. If the Tape Blade is used after storage or relocation, make sure
that the Tape Blade is fully adapted to the operating environment.
– Turn on the power of each CPU blade by the use of the POWER switch or the remote
power-on after the period of 30 seconds or longer has passed from the supply of AC
power (the POWER lamp of the Tape Blade goes on amber) to every power unit. The
power of the Tape Blade may not be turned on if the power-on operation is done within
the period of less than 30 seconds from the supply of AC power. After making sure that
the AC power is supplied to every power unit, turn on the power of each CPU blade by
using the POWER switch.
– Remove the Tape Blade after making sure that the Tape Blade has been powered off.
– Do not turn off the server when the Ready LED on the front of the Tape Blade is
blinking.
This may cause a machine failure or damage of backup data.
– Do not store the Tape Blade in a place subject to corrosive gas, chemicals, or splash of
chemicals.
Tape Blade parts may be deformed or damaged and may not be able to operate
correctly.

This may cause the Tape Blade to be defected.
– As the data cartridge set in the Tape Blade, use our "Data Cartridge."
