WELCOME
Congratulations on selecting the Exabyte®Mammoth-2 (M2™) Tape Drive.
Your new tape drive is designed for multimedia, imaging, transaction
processing, large databases, and other storage-intensive applications. The M2
tape drive provides storage capacities of up to 150 gigabytes (GB) compressed
on a single 225m SmartClean™ Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) cartridge
(assumes a 2.5:1 compression ratio).
MODELS
The M2 tape drive is available as an internal model that you can install into an
enclosure (shown on the right of Figure 1-1) or as a tabletop model
preinstalled in its own enclosure (shown on the left of Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1 M2 tabletop and internal models

1-2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 330875
Chapter 1WELCOME
CONFIGURATIONS
The M2 tape drive is available in an Ultra2 SCSI (Small Computer System
Interface) configuration or a Fibre Channel configuration.
SCSI TAPE DRIVE
The M2 SCSI tape drive is available in a low-voltage differential (LVD) wide
configuration or a high-voltage differential (HVD) wide configuration.
The LVD tape drive supports connection to LVD and single-ended wide SCSI
buses. Circuitry in the tape drive detects the SCSI environment (LVD or
single-ended) and automatically configures the tape drive’s operation to the
appropriate bus capability.
Note: Although it is possible to connect the LVD tape drive to a single-ended
narrow SCSI bus, Exabyte does not support operating the tape drive in this
configuration.
FIBRE CHANNEL TAPE DRIVE
The M2 tabletop model is also available in a Fibre Channel configuration. The
tape drive connects directly to a Fibre Channel network or fabric, without an
intermediate Fibre Channel to SCSI bridge. Connection to a Fibre Channel
fabric is accomplished through an FL (Fabric Loop) port.

2-4 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 330875
Chapter 2HARDWARE INSTALLATION
SETTING THE SCSI ID
The SCSI ID is set at the factory to a number from 0 through 15. You can
change the SCSI ID either by repositioning jumpers or by installing a remote
switch on the SCSI ID connector.
To use jumpers to set the SCSI ID:
1.
1.1.
1. Locate the SCSI ID label on the bottom of the tape drive, shown in
Figure 2-3. This label provides the SCSI ID jumper settings for both narrow
and wide SCSI interfaces (0 to 7 for narrow; 0 to 15 for wide).
2.
2.2.
2. Use flat-nose pliers to remove and reposition the jumpers on the SCSI ID
jumper block, shown in Figure 2-4, to the desired ID. Jumpers are included
with the tape drive; if you need additional jumpers, use a 2 mm mini jumper
(for example, AMP part number 382575-2).
Note: Jumper positions 5 and 6 are not used.

To use a remote switch to set the SCSI ID:
1.
1.1.
1. Use flat-nose pliers to remove the jumpers from the SCSI ID jumper block.
2.
2.2.
2. Connect a remote switch to the SCSI ID jumper block. The remote switch is
not included with the tape drive; use an AMP part number 1-111623-7.
Note: This AMP part is used with a ribbon cable; AMP does not currently
offer a discrete wire version. The connector mates to all 12 of the pins
on the connector; however, only the eight right-most pins are used for
the SCSI ID (the four left-most pins are reserved for future use).
MOUNTING THE DRIVE IN AN ENCLOSURE
Note: Depending on the location and accessibility of your computer’s drive bay,
you can connect the SCSI and power cables either before or after
mounting the tape drive in the bay. If you connect the cables before
mounting the drive, route the cables through the drive bay opening before
connecting them.
As shown in Figure 2-5, the main housing of the tape drive includes three sets
of four mounting holes to allow for a number of mounting positions (two sets
on the sides, set A and set B, and one set on the bottom, set C). When
mounting the drive, you must use only one set of holes (A, B, or C).

2-6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 330875
Chapter 2HARDWARE INSTALLATION
You can mount the tape drive either horizontally or vertically, or in a
stationary or sliding position.
To mount the tape drive in an enclosure:
1.
1.1.
1. Remove the cover plate from the host computer’s drive bay, according to the
system manufacturer’s instructions.
2.
2.2.
2. Slide the tape drive into the drive bay, but do not install the mounting
screws yet.
3.
3.3.
3. If desired, provide additional chassis grounding for the drive as described in
“Providing additional chassis ground,” below.
4.
4.4.
4. Connect the host computer’s internal SCSI cable to the drive as described in
“Connecting the SCSI cable” on page 2-7.
5.
5.5.
5. Connect the host computer’s internal power cable to the drive as described
in “Connecting the power cable” on page 2-8.
6.
6.6.
6. Choose one set of mounting holes shown in Figure 2-5. Use all four holes in
whichever set you choose; do not use combinations of mounting holes from
different sets.
7.
7.7.
7. Secure the M2 ×0.4 ×6 mm screws to the drive’s mounting holes and the
enclosure. (For proper mounting, use the correct screw length.)
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CHASSIS GROUND
When you attach the tape drive to the enclosure’s metal chassis (using the
mounting holes shown on page 2-5), the tape drive is protected from ESD.
However, if you would like additional chassis grounding for the tape drive,
use either of the following methods:
4Connect the enclosure’s grounding wire with a 1/4-inch female spade
connector to the grounding tab, shown in Figure 2-6.
or
Caution When mounting the drive, follow these precautions:
4Ensure that no objects (screw heads, cables, or adjacent devices) are pressing
against the frame.
4Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the bottom and at the rear of the tape
drive. Proper ventilation is required to maintain the tape drive within its
operating temperature range.
4Allow sufficient space for accessing the tape drive’s front panel controls.

JUNE 2002 EXABYTE MAMMOTH-2 2-7
SCSI DRIVE: INSTALLING THE INTERNAL MODEL
4Connect the grounding wire to the grounding hole, shown in Figure 2-6,
using an M2 ×0.4 ×6 mm self-tapping screw (available from Exabyte).
Note: The power supply returns are connected to the chassis and do not isolate
logic common ground from chassis ground.
CONNECTING THE SCSI CABLE
Before connecting the SCSI cable, be aware of the following:
4The SCSI cable must meet the guidelines listed in Table A-6 on page A-3.
4Although you can attach the M2 drive to a single-ended SCSI bus, doing so
will reduce the drive’s performance. When connected to a single-ended
wide bus, the M2 drive transfers data at a maximum of 20 MB/second. When
connected to an LVD or HVD wide bus, M2 can achieve its full data transfer
rate of up to 30 MB/second.
Figure 2-6 Grounding tab and hole for the internal SCSI drive
Grounding tab
Grounding hole
Caution All wide SCSI configurations (single-ended, LVD, and HVD), use the same 68-pin
connector. Make sure you do not attach an LVD tape drive directly to an HVD
SCSI bus. This type of connection may cause the SCSI bus to hang.

2-8 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 330875
Chapter 2HARDWARE INSTALLATION
To connect the SCSI cable:
1.
1.1.
1. Connect the internal SCSI cable to the tape drive’s SCSI connector, as shown
in Figure 2-7.
2.
2.2.
2. Make sure that one end of the SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI adapter
card. If there is an additional SCSI device in the enclosure, connect the end
of the SCSI cable to that device (make sure the device is terminated).
3.
3.3.
3. If the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI bus, terminate the bus by
installing a pass-through terminator on the tape drive’s SCSI connector, as
shown in Figure 2-7. Or, if there is an unused connector at the end of the
SCSI cable, you can terminate the bus there.
CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE
To connect the power cable:
1.
1.1.
1. Locate the enclosure’s internal power cable. (The cable must be an
AMP 1-480424-0 series or equivalent female power connector.)
2.
2.2.
2. Connect the enclosure’s power cable to the tape drive’s power connector,
shown in Figure 2-7.
