Step 8. Updating the configuration
For most computers, the configuration-setup utility program automatically
recognizes the new tape drive. However, you might have to provide information
about your system changes after you restart your computer.
Ensure that the appropriate advanced SCSI programming interface (ASPI) device
drivers are installed to support the tape drive. Device drivers are usually provided
with the SCSI adapter.
If your computer does not recognize the tape driver after startup or if you receive
startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program as described in the
documentation that comes with your computer.
If all the indicators on either side of the tape drive blink in unison, there is a
problem with the tape drive. Press the Unload button on the right side of the drive
front panel to eject any tape that might be inserted and to reset the drive. If the
problem persists, turn off the computer and turn it back on. If the problem
continues, see Chapter 5, "Resolving problems", on page 47 for further steps.
Step 9. Installing the backup and restore software
To use the drive, you must install an appropriate backup and restore application
for your computer operating system. If you are using software not included in this
package, follow the directions that came with your software. If you are using the
trial software that came with this package, insert a trial CD into the CD-ROM
drive and follow the on-screen installation and operating instructions.
