1Mini Tabletop CTS overview
The Mini Tabletop CTS is a fully integrated, half-high,
tabletop 8mm cartridge tape subsystem. The EXABYTE®
design provides temperature control and allows the CTS to
stand alone in either a vertical or horizontal position. The
Mini Tabletop enclosure offers the following features:
■A thermistor-controlled fan
■A universal self-switching power supply
■A SCSI ID switch
■Two SCSI connectors
■A Monitor port used for diagnostics by your vendor
Cartridge tape subsystem overview
The enclosed CTS offers the following features:
■Advanced helical scan recording technology
■Sophisticated error detection, correction, and recovery
procedures
■Ability to record on data quality 8mm data cartridges
■Read and write compatibility with other 8mm CTSs
6520156
■1-MByte speed-matching data buffer to enable operation
as a streaming or start/stop tape device
■High-speed search capability
■SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 support
■Custom EEPROM options
■Intelligent IDRC data compression
For more information about your CTS, contact your vendor.
EXATAPE™ overview
We strongly recommend that you use EXATAPE
data-grade metal-particle media with your CTS.
EXATAPE media is specifically controlled for use in a data
storage environment and offers extended durability,
long-term archivability, and greater reliability. In addition,
exclusive use of EXATAPE media with 8mm tape storage
systems prolongs head and tape life. EXATAPE data
cartridges are available in the following three lengths:
■EXATAPE 15m
■EXATAPE 54m
■EXATAPE 112m

2Before you begin...
Before installing your Mini Tabletop CTS, save the original
packing materials. If you need to ship the Mini Tabletop
CTS, use the original shipping carton and packing materials.
Do not ship any other items with the CTS.
Checking the power cord
Before you begin, check that you have the proper power
cord to connect your Mini Tabletop CTS.
Your package includes a 120 VAC three-conductor power
cord for use in the United States and Canada as shown
below.
If you are using 220 volts within the United States or
Canada, you must provide a power cord that meets the
following requirements:
■NEMA 6-15P male connector on one end
■IEC type CEE-22 female connector on the other end
■SJT type, three-conductor, 18 AWG cord
If you are using 220 volts outside the United States or
Canada, you must provide a power cord that meets the
following requirements:
■IEC type CEE-22 female connector on one end
■Attachment plug appropriate for your country on the
other end
■Cord that meets the requirements of CENELEC
publication HD-21

3Installing your Mini Tabletop CTS
As described in this section, installing the Mini Tabletop CTS
includes the following steps:
1. Setting the SCSI ID
2. Placing the orientation pads
3. Placing the external terminator
4. Connecting the SCSI cable
5. Powering on the Mini Tabletop CTS
6. Observing the power-on self-test
1. Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID is the address of the CTS on the SCSI bus. The
Mini Tabletop CTS can have a SCSI ID of 0 through 7. Each
device on the bus must have a unique SCSI ID. The Mini
Tabletop’s SCSI ID setting is 0 when shipped.
Note: Changes in the SCSI ID setting take effect after a
normal power-on, SCSI bus reset, or Bus Device
Reset message has been sent.
➥To set the SCSI ID, use a fine-tipped instrument to depress
the incremental switch until you reach the address number
desired for your device.

2. Placing the orientation pads
When shipped, the Mini Tabletop CTS includes five
self-adhesive orientation pads. You apply four pads to either
the bottom or right side of your Mini Tabletop CTS
depending on the orientation. The pads protect the surface
of the CTS and allow air to flow through the vents in the
vertical orientation.
If you use a vertical orientation, place the pads on the right
side of the device (the side with the external vents).
If you use a horizontal orientation, place the pads on the
bottom of the device.
➥To place the orientation pads, remove the backing from the
orientation pads. Place the pads within 1⁄2inch (1.3 cm) from
the sides at each corner with the adhesive side against the
Mini Tabletop CTS.
CAUTION
Failure to place pads on the Mini Tabletop CTS for a vertical
orientation can block the air flow vents and cause overheating of
the enclosed CTS.
