it may be used with any other non-HP device that bears the Ultrium logo.

CAUTION: Ultrium 2 and Ultrium 3 tape drives require the most recent firmware to immediately
identify Ultrium 4 media. Without the most recent firmware, loading an Ultrium 4 cartridge into

may not identify the media and return a load error before the application software times out waiting
for the load. HP strongly recommends keeping your tape drives updated to the most recent firmware.
