Completing the installation and turning on the device
Before completing the installation, check your work to ensure that the power and
SCSI connectors are securely attached, and that the cables are properly routed.
Then, power on the host system.
During the tape drive’s power-on self-test, the LEDs scroll sequentially right to left,
then left to right. For more information, see Table 3-1 on page 3-3.
Updating the configuration
For most computers, the configuration-setup utility program automatically
recognizes the new tape drive. However, you might need to provide information
about your system changes after you restart your computer.
Ensure that the appropriate advanced SCSI programming interface (ASPI) device
drivers are installed to support the tape drive. Device drivers are usually provided
with the SCSI adapter.
If your computer does not recognize the tape drive after startup or if you receive
startup errors, run the configuration-setup utility program as described in the
documentation that comes with your computer.

The tape drive is used for backing up and restoring data. Consequently, to use the
drive, you must install an appropriate backup and restore application for your
computer operating system. Use the instruction below that best fits your situation:
