FTe DDS Drive Installation
Problems may be experienced when backing up to DDS tape drives installed
into FTe servers. The problem is caused by signal and frame grounding issues with the DDS
drive. This may result in a variety of symptoms, but the most common will be system
hanging during back-ups, or back-ups taking much longer than would normally be expected.
The solution is to isolate the DDS drive from the drive chassis using an
insulation sheet and nylon screws. Installation kits are available from Apricot Technical
Support.
