HP SureStore DAT
Installing an “e” Model Drive (external)
1-4
If the SCSI cable supplied with your drive is not appropriate for your
computer’s external SCSI connector, you will need to order a new cable.
(For HP part numbers and descriptions, see the electronic DAT Media and
Orderable Accessories Guide on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.)
Backup Software
You need backup software that supports the drive.
Applications usually recognize tape drives by their manufacturers’ internal
identifiers rather than their model numbers, so check the table below for
the appropriate reference for your model.
The HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM contains backup software, as well as
drivers, useful utilities and information about using your tape drive. See
page 1-13 for more information about using the HP SureStore Tape
CD-ROM.
