User Manual Statements for Class A Equipment (Internal Tape
System)
This equipment generates, uses, and may emit radio frequency energy. The equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency
interference in a commercial installation.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the user at
his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the
interference.
Any modifications to this device—unless expressly approved by the manufacturer—can void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment under Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Note: Additional information on the need to interconnect the device with shielded (data) cables or
the need for special devices, such as ferrite beads on cables, is required if such means of
interference suppression was used in the qualification testfor the device. This information will vary
from device to device and needs to be obtained from the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
group or product manager.
Warning!
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in
whichcasetheusermayberequiredtotakeadequatemeasures.
Achtung!
Dieses ist ein Gerät der Funkstörgrenzwertklasse A. In Wohnbereichen können bei Betrieb dieses
Gerätes Rundfunkstörungen auftreten, in welchen Fällen der Benutzer für entsprechende
Gegenmaßnahmen verantwortlich ist.
Warning!
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Attention!
Ceci est un produit de Classe A. Dans un environnement domestique, ce produit risque de créer des
interférences radioélectriques, il appartiendra alors à l'utilisateur de prendreles mesures spécifiques
appropriées.

User Manual Statements for Class B Equipment (Tabletop Tape
System)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Any modifications to this device—unless expressly approved by the manufacturer—can void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment under Part 15 of the FCC rules.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
Note: Additional information on the need to interconnect the device with shielded (data) cables or
the need for special devices, such as ferrite beads on cables, is required if such means of
interference suppression was used in the qualification testfor the device. This information will vary

CHAPTER 1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This product manual is a comprehensive source of information about the
SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 cartridge tape drive systems; it describes both the
internal and tabletop versions of the Super DLTtapeâ„¢ tape system. This manual is
also intended to serve as an easy-to-use comprehensive information source and
product catalog to familiarize both the Tandberg Data customer base and systems
professional with the SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 cartridge tape systems,
subsequently referred to in this document as SDLT 220/320.
The SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 models have many characteristics in common,
enabling both sets of information to be presented in a single document.
NOTE: Except where clearly noted, the information in this
document applies to both models of the tape drive.
