2.13 Verifying the host
When the host server is powered on, install the software and/or driver(s) that are compatible with the
library. Backup software packages may require additional software or licensing to communicate with
the library media changer.
To confirm that the host server’s operating system has recognized the library, consult the operating
system documentation.
2.14 Powering the library up or down
Press the power button on the front panel of the Q24 Tape Library to power it up or down. Powering
up can take a few minutes because it includes scanning the inventory and configuration (e.g. how many
and what type of drives are installed)
2.15 Tape cartridges
Before you begin using the library, an understanding of the media type, use, maintenance, and how to
properly label and write‐protect your tape cartridges, will help you to prolong the life of your tapes as
well as the library.
2.15.1 Tape cartridge type
The tape cartridge types supported depend on the drive types installed. The library will support any
type of LTO data cartridge and cleaning cartridge that the installed LTO drive will support.
