2.1
Introduction
The DPS 7000/XTA platform recognizes PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320
Loader systems as standard 8mm cartridge readers.
PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320 Loader use standard commands in both
interactive (GCL) and batch (JCL) languages.
2.2
Definitions and Parameters
PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320 Loader are "CT/M6" cartridge readers for the
DPS 7000/XTA platform. Therefore, you must manage file definition parameters in
the same way as those of the DPS 7000/XTA platform.
2.2.1
Restrictions
• The maximum number of files on a cartridge cannot exceed 9999.
• The maximum number of records (blocks) for a file is 999 990.
• The number of catalogued files may not exceed 255.
2.2.2
Sequence Number
When several files have the same name, ANSI standards only allow the location of
the first 255 files on the media. Beyond this number, each subsequent file must
have a different name in order to be located.
Access files via the following parameters:
• $MFTxxx or FSN=xxx
77 A1 64UP
2-1
used to find a file of rank xxx (up to rank 255).
• $MFT or FSN=ANY
used to find the first file with the name specified.
2.2.3
Start / Stop Mode
PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320 Loader are mainly designed for back up
(streaming) purposes. Nevertheless the Start / Stop operating mode is similar to that
used by other types of cartridge readers and can be used with all standard data
management utilities.

2.2.4
3 IMPORTANT:
3
CT/M6-type peripherals do not support the REPEAT option in the STEPOPT
parameter.
File Closure Options
The END parameter is used to specify the required file state at the end of a step.
On PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320 Loader, this option is managed in the same
way as on a standard "CT/M6" cassette reader.
• END = LEAVE
The cartridge is not automatically rewound (default option) when the file is
closed, but is left in its current position, ready to process subsequent files.
If this option is not selected when writing / reading consecutive files, the
controller’s fast positioning function will compensate (only with SDLT I
cartridges).
• END = UNLOAD
The cartridge is rewound and automatically unloaded at the end of a step.

This option must be selected for PowerSave 320 Loader in order to initiate the
insertion of the next cartridge.
Compatibility and User Visibility
PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320 Loader are "CT/M6" cartridge readers for the
DPS 7000/XTA platform.

• Recording density is totally independent of compression.
• Compression is implemented in the DLT drive itself and the same algorithm is
used on all versions (full compatibility).
• Compression increases transfer rate (< 32 MB/s instead of 16 MB/s).

3. Galileo-2FC Controller on PowerSave 320
Systems
The Galileo-2FC controller is one of the PowerSave 320 and PowerSave 320
Loader unit. It is equipped with a Fibre Channel interface designed specifically for
the DPS 7000/XTA (Diane) platform.
The Galileo-2FC controller:
• Interfaces with the DPS 7000/XTA platform.
• Emulates a standard 8mm sequential backup peripheral in relation to the host
system.
• Performs fast positioning on files (on SDLT I cartridges only).
• Controls the SDLT 320 tape drive.
The Galileo-2FC controller enables you to configure PowerSave 320 and
PowerSave 320 Loader.
Unlike conventional sequential backup systems, the Galileo-2FC controller allows
fast positioning on files on SDLT I cartridges only. Large capacity SDLT media can
therefore be used in full without loss of performance in terms of file access times.
The Galileo-2FC controller performance is not reliant on the host system for
continuous streaming and is therefore highly effective for real-time data or log file
recording.
The controller microcode version is f4.x for Galileo-2FC, where x is an unspecified
variable.

In the event of a power failure while saving to the nonvolatile memory, the
controller microcode may be permanently altered. This condition is detected
during the auto-test. To guard against this eventuality, the controller has a
second microcode, referred to as the backup firm.
The backup firm microcode is automatically selected in the event of a normal
microcode defect and can be manually selected by validating the “+” key during
the startup sequence (at power on or after reset).
At the end of the configuration phase and according to which microcode is active,
the controller copies the active microcode and the configuration to the other
microcode. It then displays either Save firm->backup to update the backup
microcode when the normal microcode is active, or Restore backup firm to
regenerate a normal microcode when the backup microcode is active.

3 IMPORTANT:

You are advised to copy the normal microcode to the backup microcode at the
end of the installation procedure in order to dispose of the appropriate backup
configuration.
77 A1 64UP
CAUTION:
In the event of an incident when modifying the backup microcode, the
controller will be unusable until repaired by the manufacturer.

Write Protection
The backup tape cartridge has a write-protect tab that you can use to prevent
accidental erasure of data.
CAUTION:
NEVER move the write-protect tab once the cartridge is loaded in the
PowerSave 320 drive.
Non-compliance with this instruction will result in system failure.
• To enable write protection, slide the write-protect tab to the LEFT. Once the
orange rectangle is visible, the cartridge is protected and existing data on the
tape cannot be overwritten, nor can additional data be appended.
• To disable write protection, slide the write-protect tab to the RIGHT. Once the
orange rectangle is no longer visible, the cartridge is no longer protected and
existing data on the tape can be overwritten and additional data can be appended.
The figure bellow shows how to slide the write-protect tab:

Precautions for Use and Transport
6.3.1
Labels
• Always use a ballpoint or felt tip pen to write on labels. Avoid using soft lead
pencils that may leave deposits or particles.
• Slide prepared labels into the slots intended for this purpose. Labels must not be
placed outside these slots as they may tear when the cartridge is inserted and
damage or contaminate the drive.
• For easy identification, the volume name can be written on the edge of the
cartridge.
6.3.2
Care and Handling
• Only use cartridges in perfect condition.
• Never touch the tape inside the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to intense sunlight, electromagnetic radiation or
rapid changes of temperature.
• Carry cartridges in their protective cases.
• When mailing cartridges, protect with shockproof packaging adapted for
computer data (mark Recommendations for Use on the package).
6.3.3
Acclimating
Stabilizing the tape cartridge following transportation or storage overcomes the
effects of thermal expansion or contraction:
• Always allow the tape cartridge time to acclimate to the operating environment.
• Store the tape cartridge in the operating environment one hour for each hour it
spent outside the operating environment, up to a maximum of eight hours.
• Do not expose the tape cartridge to sudden temperature changes while in use.
