TITLE :Exabyte 8200-EXB Streamer Time-Outs During Backup
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

SYMPTOMS
========
When you are using the Exabyte 8200-EXB (SCSI-1 device) and backing up
files with NTBACKUP, NTBACKUP stops after processing less than 1.5 megabyte
(MB) of data. NTBACKUP displays the following error message:
Fatal error 1.
The Event log contains the following message from the Service Control
Manager:

RESOLUTION
==========
The Exabyte 8200-EXB can be configured for SCSI disconnects on even or odd
byte boundaries. In order to operate properly with NTBACKUP, the streamer
should be configured to disconnect on even boundary.
Configuration of the streamer is controlled by 8 dip-switches. Switch 3
determines the SCSI disconnects. In order for NTBACKUP to operate
correctly, switch 3 should be set On (Even boundary).
Detailed explanation of the dip-switches:
