Which operating systems are supported?

HP StorageWorks DAT USB drives can be connected to servers running under Microsoft Windows Server

2000, Server 2003, XP Professional and Linux Kernels 2.6.x. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Tape

Software Compatibility topic on our World Wide Web site (http://www.hp.com/go/connect/) for the

most recent information about the operating system versions that are supported.

For optimum performance the drive should be connected to a USB 2.0 port and it should be the only

device on the USB bus. Although the tape drive will function on USB 1.1, performance will be severely

degraded. See also

USB cables are supplied with your tape drive.

For internal drives, the USB 2.0 connection may be via an internal port on the server's system board (as

in many newer ProLiants servers) or an external port on the server's rear panel.
