Exabyte tape drive
Q: Why won't my system recognize the Exabyte SCSI tape drive I've hooked up?
Q: What are the recommended option switch positions?
A: While the Exabyte is in self-test mode (at power-on, for example), the system
cannot recognize it on the SCSI bus. Wait until the tape drive's power-up sequence
is complete before powering on the cube. Or just disable the power-up test by setting
switch #1 as shown below.
A: For the Exabyte tape drive the recommended option switch positions are:
SW Position meaning
1 ON Bypass 2-minute memory test
2 ON SCSI Parity Checking enabled
3 ON Even Byte Disconnect
4 ON No Busy Enable
5 OFF Fixed Block Mode on power up
6 OFF Disconnect enabled
7 OFF reserved
8 OFF P6 cartridge type
