Step 8: Verify installation
Check operation
1
Switch on the server. The tape drive will run its hardware self-test, which takes up to 25
seconds (with no cartridge loaded). If self-test passes, the Ready LED remains on and the other
LEDs are off. See “Understanding the LEDs” on page 38 for more information about the LEDs.
2
Install drivers and backup software.
On Windows systems, the Windows Hardware Installation wizard is displayed
automatically. We recommend that you close the wizard and install the drivers from the HP
web site at
www.hp.com
. For all operating systems ensure that you have downloaded any
upgrades necessary for your backup application (see page 5).
3
Verify that the tape drive installation was successful.
For most operating systems use HP Library & Tape Tools as described on page 30.
If you encounter a problem during this verification procedure, turn to “Troubleshooting” on
page 33 for help in diagnosing and fixing the problem.
4
You are now ready to carry out a backup and restore test to check that the drive can write data
to tape. Use a blank DLTtape VS1 cartridge. See “Use the correct media” on page 27 for more
information about recommended cartridges. Refer to your backup application documentation
for specific instructions.
To load a cartridge
1
Insert the DLTtape VS1 cartridge into the slot in front of the drive with the markings uppermost
and facing the drive door. Apply gentle pressure until the drive takes the cartridge and loads
it. See Figure 9a.
2
The Ready LED flashes green while the drive performs its load sequence. When the cartridge
is ready for use, the Ready LED shows steady green. (If the Media LED is also on, you have
used a DLTtape 1V (VS80) cartridge. See “Use the correct media” on page 27.)
To unload a cartridge
Caution
Never try to remove a cartridge before it is fully ejected or power off the tape drive while a
cartridge is still loaded. Failure to remove a data cartridge may result in cartridge or tape
drive damage.
1
Press the Eject button on the front panel. (See Figure 9b.)
2
The drive will complete its current task, rewind the tape to the beginning, and eject the
cartridge. The Ready LED will flash to indicate that the unload is still in progress and will show
steady green, when the cartridge is ready for removal.
