Verify the Installation

Once you have installed the tape drive, you should verify that it is

functioning properly before you store your valuable data. If you have a

Windows 95/98, Windows NT or NetWare system, the HP TapeAssure

softwareprovidedontheHP SureStore TapeCD-ROMwillperformaseries

of tests to verify that the drive has been properly installed and provide

guidance on what to do if there is a problem.

1When it is powered up, the drive runs its self-test, which takes about 13

seconds if no cartridge is loaded. At the end of the self-test, only the green

“Operate Handle”light should be lit (assuming there is no cartridge in the

drive). Read more about the front panel lights in Chapter 2.

Note These instructions assume that the HP SureStore H/A Tape Array 5500 is

powered on when you install the drive. If it is powered off, you will need to

switch it on again and the drives will power up in sequence.

2Verify that the tape drive installation was successful.

If you are installing on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT, or NetWare system,

use HP TapeAssure to verify that the tape drive is operational.

SelectHPTapeAssurefromtheWindowsStartmenu. (Ifyoudid notinstall

TapeAssure in Step 1, install it now from the Welcome page on the

HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.) No other backup software should be

running at the same time.

•Have a blank cartridge ready for the backup and restore test, which you

should perform to check that the drive can write data to tape. (For tape

loading instructions, see page 2-5.)

Install Backup Software and Driver

Before you can use the tape drive, you will need a backup application with

driver software that supports your tape drive model.

Depending on which backup software you use, the driver may be supplied

on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM, your backup software disks, or your

operating system disks. See the README file on the HP SureStore Tape

CD-ROM for which drivers are available for your specific model.
