More Information

Overview Manuals SCSI Configuration Media and Transfer Installation Checks Application
  • 150 MB SCSI model in the Archive Viper streaming cartridge range
  • Half-height 5.25-inch drive with an embedded controller and 64 KB buffer
  • Configurable SCSI identity, parity, disconnect size and termination

Archive 2150S combines a quarter-inch cartridge mechanism with an embedded SCSI controller for system backup, software distribution, logging and data interchange.

Its 150 MB identity separates it from the 60 MB 2060S, while the half-height chassis supports horizontal or documented vertical mounting.

A reliable replacement depends on matching media requirements, SCSI topology, jumper settings, termination, power and host-software support rather than selecting by Viper family name alone.

Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for Archive 2150S are confirmed during quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, media, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

  • Three jumper bits select one of eight SCSI device identities
  • A dedicated jumper enables or disables SCSI parity checking
  • Three disconnect-size bits tune the controller transfer behavior
  • The 2150S configuration is identified by its 150 MB storage capacity
  • Backward compatibility is documented for QIC-24 and QIC-120 tape libraries
  • A 64 KB buffer supports a 112.5 KB/s model-specific transfer rate
  • Horizontal and vertical mounting are supported with the documented orientation
  • Both 12 V and 5 V rails must meet operational and start-surge requirements
  • Termination, ID, parity and cable topology must be validated before startup
  • Backup of high-capacity disk systems using quarter-inch cartridge media
  • Software distribution, data exchange and controlled program loading
  • Transaction logging and data collection on compatible SCSI hosts
Description
Archive 2150S is the 150 MB SCSI model in Archive Corporation's Viper half-height streaming cartridge tape-drive range.

The drive combines a quarter-inch cartridge mechanism with an embedded SCSI controller, a 64 KB buffer, selectable SCSI identity and disconnect settings, and backward compatibility with documented QIC tape libraries.

Before installation, verify the complete 2150S identity, terminating-resistor configuration, SCSI ID, parity and disconnect jumpers, mounting orientation, power rails, cartridge format, and host backup-software support.

Technical notes
Archive 2150S is the 150 MB SCSI Viper model; preserve its SCSI ID, parity, disconnect-size, termination, mounting and power configuration before replacement, and verify the required QIC media behavior with the host software.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How can a buyer distinguish Archive 2150S from the 60 MB Archive 2060S?
Match the 2150S model marking and 150 MB entry in the Archive Viper configuration table. The 2060S is the 60 MB model, so capacity or family name alone is not sufficient for replacement selection.
What host interface must be available for Archive 2150S?
Archive documents the 2150S as the SCSI model with an embedded controller. Confirm the host SCSI bus, cable and connector arrangement, termination plan, device ID, backup software, and operating-system driver before ordering.
What jumper settings should be recorded before removing Archive 2150S?
Record SCSI ID, parity enable, disconnect-size selection, diagnostic-mode status, serial-port jumpers, and whether terminating resistors are fitted. Reproduce only the settings required by the replacement system topology.
Can Archive 2150S be mounted vertically?
Yes. Archive permits horizontal or vertical mounting, but for vertical installation the preferred orientation places the head-loading lever at the top. Maintain the documented mounting holes and clearances.
Which cartridge libraries must be checked for Archive 2150S migration?
Archive identifies the 2150S as the 150 MB model and documents backward compatibility with QIC-24 and QIC-120 libraries. Confirm the exact read/write requirement, cartridge condition, and host backup format before migrating archived media.
What power checks are required before installing Archive 2150S?
Verify both 12 V and 5 V rails, connector polarity, available start-surge capacity, and chassis grounding. Archive specifies nominal and maximum current separately, so the supply should be checked against the maximum requirements rather than nominal draw alone.
What should be checked when Archive 2150S stops streaming or reports intermittent SCSI faults?
Inspect cartridge condition, head cleanliness, SCSI termination, ID conflicts, cable integrity, parity, disconnect-size jumpers, supply voltage under load, airflow, and host error logs before replacing the drive.
