SCSI ID Jumper Block
The SCSI ID jumper block on the tape drive enables you to set the
SCSI ID either by using a remote switch or by installing jumpers. See
Chapter 4 for more information about setting the SCSI ID.
Monitor Port
Using the Monitor port, you can change some of the tape drive’s
configuration options, download code updates, and perform
diagnostic procedures on the tape drive.
To use the Monitor port, you will need the Exabyte CTS Monitor
program and an IBM AT
® , XT™, or compatible system with a serial
port.
If your tape drive has a 3-pin Monitor port, you will need the
following cables and connectors:
A 3-pin to RJ-11 modular phone plug cable (Exabyte part number
303772)
An RJ-11 to 9-pin level shifter (Exabyte part number 301001)
A 9-pin to 25-pin adapter cable (if your computer system has a
25-pin serial port)
If your tape drive has a 4-pin Monitor port, you will need the
following cables and connectors:
A 4-pin to 25-pin connector cable (Exabyte part number 727005)
A 25-pin to 9-pin adapter cable (if your computer system has a
9-pin serial port)
Resistor Terminators (single-ended configuration only)
The single-ended configuration of the EXB-8205 or EXB-8505 includes
three single inline package (SIP) resistor terminators (R-packs) that
you can use if the tape drive is the terminating device for the SCSI
bus. You can remove these terminators if the tape drive does not
terminate the bus or if you want to use external terminators. The first
pin is on the right end of the terminator.
Note: The differential configuration of the tape drive does not
include internal terminators and must be terminated
externally.
