2. Verify the connection between the library and the host:
Install the Library & Tape Tools Diagnostic/Installation Check Utility onto the host
computer. This utility verifies that the unit is connected and communicating with the host
server. It also verifies that the device is functioning and provides diagnostic information.
Run the Library & Tape Tools Installation Check from the programs menu to verify
your connections. L&TT is available without cost at:

Confirm that the host server's operating system recognizes the library. In Windows, look
for tape drives and media changers in the Device Manager.
