HP Ultrium Tape driver
Please refer to http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class-storageworks.html
for the latest information about supported operating systems.
NOTE:
Certain backup applications require you to use their own Tape driver instead of the HP Ultrium Tape
driver.
Installing on Windows
The CD-ROM contains a Tape driver install package for supported Microsoft Windows operating systems.
If you prefer to use Windows Device Manager to install the tape drivers manually, you will fi nd them in
the drivers directory on the CD-ROM.
