DESCRIPTION: CTS Monitor allows you to load drive firmware, perform diagnostic dumps, and set drive configuration options (except for the EXB-8200 and EXB-8200SX). All functions are performed via a serial connection with the drive. Self-extracting file.

REQUIREMENTS: An IBM-compatible computer with a serial port, running DOS or a DOS-window. If the tape drive is an external table-top model or if it is in an Exabyte library, you will need a straight-through DB9-male to DB9-female serial cable. If the tape drive is an internal model, you will need an Exabyte Diagnostic cable (also known as a Monitor cable) to connect to the Monitor port on the rear panel of the drive.

DIAGNOSTIC CABLE: Diagnostic cables can be ordered from Exabyte. Contact Exabyte Direct Service Sales at (800) 392-8273 or (303) 471-7791.
