Installation tapes
The installation procedure uses two cassette tapes. Care must be taken to
avoid damaging the tapes, as their fragility can result in tape errors during
the installation procedure. Also, ensure that installation tapes are set to
write-protected before using them. Keep tapes away from excessive heat or
electromagnetic radiation.
Figure 10-1 shows the correct method for inserting a cassette tape into the
600 Mbyte tape drive of a Meridian MAX 6 or 7 IPE, Meridian MAX 8
SNN-E, or any Meridian MAX SNN.
The 600 Mbyte tape drive in the IPE/IPE-E has been rotated 180 degrees
for systems shipped with the Meridian MAX 8 compared to the tape drive
released with earlier versions of Meridian MAX IPE. This is shown in
Figure 10-2.
Figure 10-3 shows the correct method for inserting and locking a cassette
tape into the 155 Mbyte tape drive of any Meridian MAX IPE. Make
certain the arrow on the label points towards the drive, and that the notch in
the cassette tape is pointing down. After the tape is inserted in the
155 Mbyte tape drive, you must also rotate the tape drive latch clockwise
until the latch handle is horizontal.
When following instructions within the procedures regarding cassette tapes,
this document refers to the tapes by functional application names, rather
than by the labels you see on the different tapes.
Table 10-2 cross references the tape application name used within a
procedure and the label on the tape.
