Completing Your
Installation
To complete and test your internal tape drive installation:
1
Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the drive in place.
2
Replace the computer cover.
3
Reconnect the power cord to the computer’s power connector.
4
Turn on the computer.
5
If necessary install the DAT320 O/S driver.
6
Install your backup software program. The documentation that came with your
software should describe this procedure.
7
Gently insert a tape cartridge into the internal tape drive’s slot. Slide the cartridge
into the slot until the drive accepts the cartridge and loads it. A brief delay occurs
while the drive identifies the cartridge type and state, and moves the tape to the
data area. Then the green Ready LED goes ON.
8
Use your backup software application to perform a sample backup-and-verify
operation. The Ready green LED flashes as data is written to and/or read from the
tape.
9
At the end of the operation, press the
Eject
button on the front of the internal tape
drive to eject the cartridge from the drive.
