Step 6. Completing the Installation
Check your work before closing the computer.
1. Be sure that the power and interface connectors are securely
attached. Be sure that the cables are neatly routed. Be sure that
the air vents to the power supply are not blocked.
2. Replace the computer cover and secure it in place. Reconnect the
power cords and cables.
3. Turn on all attached devices; then turn on the computer.
Ensure that the appropriate Advanced SCSI Programming
Interface (ASPI) drivers are installed to support the tape drive.
Drivers should be provided with the SCSI host adapter.
Step 7. Updating the Configuration
For many computers, the power-on self-test (POST) and the
configuration-setup utility program automatically recognize the new
tape drive. However, you might have to answer questions about your
system changes when you restart (boot) your computer.
If your host computer does not recognize the tape drive after startup or
you receive startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program
as described in the documentation that comes with your computer.
Step 8. Installing Backup and Restore Software
Install your backup and restore tape software. See “Backup and
Restore Server Software” on page 2-2 for more information. Follow
the installation and operating instructions included with your software
to begin using the tape drive.
