Verify that the tape drive installation was successful.
For UNIX systems, the configuration instructions in the electronic User’s
Guide on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM include a verification
procedure.
Note
If you encounter a problem during this verification procedure, turn to
“Save Yourself a Call” on page 3-2 for help in diagnosing and fixing the
problem.

Use a blank cartridge to carry out the backup and restore test, which you
should perform to check that the drive can write data to tape.

The HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM contains drivers, useful utilities and
information about using your tape drive.

To load a cartridge:
Insert the cartridge into the slot in front of the
drive with the label uppermost and apply gentle
pressure until the drive takes the cartridge and
loads it. The Tape light flashes green while the
drive performs its load sequence. When the
cartridge is loaded, the Tape light shows steady
green.
To unload a cartridge:
Press the Unload button on the front panel.
The drive completes any task it is currently
performing, winds the tape to the beginning, and
ejects the cartridge. The sequence will take about
25 seconds for a write-enabled cartridge and 10
seconds for a write-protected cartridge.
