Exabyte 440, 480 manual Scsi mode parameters

Library Information

For each parameter, the SCSI Mode Parameters screen shows the current (Cur), default (Def), and saved (Sav) values:

￿The current value is the value currently active. It is either the power-on default or a temporary value set by the latest MODE SELECT command.

￿The default value is the original value set at the factory.

￿The saved value is the value specified as the power-on default by a MODE SELECT command. After a saved value has been specified with a MODE SELECT command, this value takes effect each time you power on the library.

The table below describes the items on the SCSI Mode Parameters screen.

	remaining tape drives are numbered consecutively.
Drive Num	The number of tape drives installed.
E/E Addr*	The element address of the entry/exit port.
Parity	Whether parity checking is enabled for the SCSI bus that is connected to
	the library. When the parity option is enabled, the library checks all data
