[. . . ] The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Sony shall not be liable for error contained herein, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with the furnishing, performance or use of this document. [. . . ] The Sony AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 drives are high capacity data storage devices using Advanced Intelligent tape (AIT) technology. The AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 drives achieve high data reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level of Error Correction Code, and other features. The Sony AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 drives store data on tape using standard formats called AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape) and ALDC formats. The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to system environment and data type. Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from a low to high in temperature. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is turned on , wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, a malfunction may occur. As the cassette is inserted, the drive takes it and automatically loads it into drive mechanism. The cassette can be removed from the AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 either in response to a SCSI Unload Command, or by pressing the eject bottom. By pressing Eject button, the tape goes to BOT, the drive unthreads it, and ejects the cassette from the slot. Cassettes can be write-protected by sliding the tab on the back of the cassette. In this state, data can be read from the tape but not written onto it. AIT-1 AIT-2, 3 Using your fingernail, push the switch in the direction of the arrow to protect the tape from writing or accidental erasure. A cleaning function is built into the AITi260, AITi130, and AITi90 so the use of a cleaning cartridge is not needed.
