Figure 3 Location of R-packs on the back of the tape drive (single-ended configuration)
Replacing the R-Packs
If you need to put the R-packs back in the tape drive, make sure that pin 1 of each R-pack is aligned with pin 1 of the socket and that no pins are bent. As shown in Figure 3, the writing on the R-pack should face upward. Pin 1 of the R-pack is marked with a colored line or dot and should line up with the right side of the socket.
CAUTION
If you replace an R-pack, be sure to use the correct type to avoid damaging the tape drive. Use an
8-pin, 6-resistor SIP terminator, rated at 220/330 ohms. Exabyte recommends either of the following terminators (or equivalent):
■Dale®: part number CSC 08A-05-221/331J
■Beckman Industrial™: part number
L08-5C221/331J
Termination for a Differential tape drive
The differential tape drive does not include internal terminators. If a differential tape drive terminates the SCSI bus, it must be terminated externally. See page 7 for information about the recommended terminator.
