Overview
The 5243-2SE tape drive is designed for file backup and archive applications. It
contains two independent DAT72 tape drives.
The tape drive unit mounts into a telco rack and has built-in power-on-self-test (POST)
diagnostics.
The tape drive uses DAT72 tape drives and is designed to use a 170-meter DAT72
tape cartridge. The tape drive is also backward compatible with the DDS-3 tape format.
It is not backward compatible with DDS-2 or DDS-1 tape formats. The unit is
considered a field replaceable unit (FRU) and can only be installed or replaced by
qualified personnel trained by HP.

The tape drive connects to a ServerNet/DA , IOMF2 CRU, or PMF CRU on the
NonStop S-series server by a SCSI cable.

and User’s Guide and the Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support
