Verify installation
Once you have installed the drive hardware, check that drivers have been
installed correctly and you have the correct version of backup software, and
verify that the tape drive is functioning properly before you store your valuable
data.
I
Certain backup applications require you to use their own Tape driver
instead of the HP Tape driver.
Ê Switch on the drive and the server.
Ê The tape drive will run its hardware self-test, which takes about 5 seconds.
At the end of the hardware self-test:
– DAT 160 drives: If self-test passes, the green Ready LED flashes and
then shows steady green. If the test fails, the Drive Error and Tape Error
LEDs flash, while the Ready and Clean (or Use Cleaning Cartridge)
LEDs are off. This continues until the drive is reset.
– All other drives: If self-test passes, both front panel lights should be off.
If a hard error causes the self-test to fail, the clean light changes to
steady amber.
Ê If you installed drivers before connecting the tape drive (Windows
only): The tape drive should be detected automatically and the correct
drivers used. If the Windows Found New Hardware wizard runs, cancel it
and check that both drivers have been installed, as described in Hardware
wizard runs, cancel it and check that both drivers have been installed, as
described in
"Verifying USB installation for optimum performance" on
page
31.
– Installing drivers after connecting the tape drive (Windows only)
If you have not already installed drivers, the Windows Found New
Hardware wizard will run when you power on the server and tape drive.
Cancel it and install the drivers from http://ts.fujitsu.com/support.
– Installing drivers (other operating systems) Drivers are included with
the operating system and should be loaded automatically. See also
"Check drivers (Linux)" on page
