Exabyte EXB-8205 manual Termination for a Differential tape drive, L08-5C221/331J

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.
