Custom EEPROM Options

When the tape drive is manufactured, a number of operating features and default values are programmed in the electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). These operating features and default values, called EEPROM options, include such items as MODE SELECT power-on default values, command set options, hardware operation options, and SCSI configuration options.

When you order a tape drive, you can contact an Exabyte account manager to select which, if any, EEPROM settings you want to change from their standard settings. Using this information, Exabyte can create a customized EEPROM image that meets your integration and application development needs. Once your designated EEPROM structure is released, each tape drive you purchase will be factory-configured to your specifications.

Note: You can use the CTS Monitor program to change some of the tape drive’s EEPROM option settings. For more information about these options, refer to the documentation for the CTS Monitor program.
