HP SureStore DAT  
Installation Guide  
Before You Start: Check System Prerequisites  
To install and use your new tape drive, you will need the following:  
SCSI host adapter  
SCSI ribbon cable  
Available 5¼-inch (or 3½-inch), half-height bay  
Mounting hardware, if required  
Backup software that supports the tape drive  
SCSI Host Adapter  
You need a properly installed and configured SCSI host adapter or a built-  
in SCSI controller on your computer s motherboard (SCSI-2 or SCSI-3  
compliant). Consult your supplier for details.  
If you are installing on a Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or Novell  
NetWare system, you can use HP TapeAssure to check your computer s  
SCSI configuration, as directed on page 1-6.  
HP SureStore DAT Drives and SCSI  
All HP SureStore DAT drives, apart from the HP SureStore DAT40 are fast  
narrow SCSI devices and should be connected to a single-ended (SE) host  
bus adapter.  
The HP SureStore DAT40 drive is an ultra wide SCSI device. For optimum  
performance it should be connected to a low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI  
host adapter. HP SureStore DAT40 drives may also be connected to SE  
(single-ended) SCSI host adapters, but cable length will be restricted to the  
SE rather than the LVD specification.  
If you would like more information on SCSI specifications and configuring  
your SCSI bus, read the SCSI Background” topic in the Before You Start”  
section of the electronic Users Guide on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.  
SCSI Ribbon Cable  
You need a SCSI ribbon cable with the correct termination.  
Tape 5000, DAT8 and DAT24 drives have a 50-pin narrow SCSI connector.  
If your computer uses wide SCSI, use the supplied 50-to-68-pin adapter to  
connect the drive (50 pins) into the wide SCSI bus (68 pins).  
1-3  
     
HP SureStore DAT  
Installation Guide  
The DAT 40 drive has a 68-pin wide, high-density SCSI connector. If your  
computer uses narrow SCSI, use a 68-to-50-pin adapter to connect the  
DAT40 drive (68 pins) into the narrow SCSI bus (50 pins). This adapter  
must be purchased separately (part number C7423A). See the electronic  
DAT Media and Orderable Accessories Guide on the HP SureStore Tape  
CD-ROM for ordering information.  
Half-Height Bay  
You need a 5¼-inch, half-height bay in which to install the tape drive. If you  
have 3½-inch bays, use the supplied 5¼ to 3½-inch conversion kit.  
Mounting Rails  
For many servers, no tray or rails are required. Devices simply slide into  
the computer s chassis and are fixed with screws.  
Some servers require special mounting tray or rails to fix the drive into the  
empty bay. The drive comes with mounting hardware for HP NetServer L-  
series, E-series, Kayak, Brio and Vectra computers and, for DAT8i, DAT24i  
and DAT40i drives only, Compaq servers. (Not all HP NetServer E-series  
and Compaq servers require rails.)  
Rails for Dell servers may be ordered separately. Different models of server  
require different rail kits.  
Order HP accessory C5731A for Dell 2100/2200 servers  
Order HP accessory C5732A for Dell 2300/4100/6100 servers  
Order Dell accessory 86194 for Dell 4300/6300 servers  
Other computers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include  
spares. If this is the case with your system, you will have to order these  
accessories from the computer manufacturer before you can install the tape  
drive.

HP SureStore DAT  
Installation Guide  
Step 1: Check the Drives SCSI ID  
Note Your HP SureStore DAT drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3, but  
it can be assigned any unused ID between 0 and 6. Do not use SCSI ID 7,  
which is reserved for the SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically  
assigned to the boot disk.  
and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7 or SCSI ID 0.  
1 Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.  
If you are installing on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT or NetWare system,  
install HP TapeAssure from the Software page on the HP SureStore Tape  
CD-ROM and run it to check your computer s current SCSI configuration.  
See Installing and Using HP TapeAssure” on page 1-8 for more  
information about installing and running HP TapeAssure.  
If you are installing on a UNIX® system, check the electronic Users Guide  
on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM, for instructions on how to determine  
the SCSI IDs of existing devices. See page 1-22 for instructions on using the  
HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM.  
2 Change the tape drives SCSI ID, if necessary.  
The SCSI ID is set using jumpers on a set of pins at the rear of the drive.  
Use your fingers to move the jumpers to the pattern corresponding to the  
ID you want. Do n ot remove the TERM PWR jumper. It should always be  
set.  
Spare jumpers will either be on switch itself (but only attached to a single  
pin) or in the accessories box.  
For HP SureStore Tape 5000i, HP SureStore DAT 8i and DAT24i  
models, see figure 1.1.  
For HP SureStore DAT40i models, see figure 1.2.  
Caution Static electricity can damage electronic components. To equalize the  
electromagnetic charges, touch a bare metal part of the computer (such as  
the back plate) before you remove the tape drive from its bag.

On Completion  
Once you have completed the installation:  
Make sure you have the correct media.  
Power on and check that your new drive is operational.  
Insert the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM. It contains everything you will  
need to use your tape drive—drivers, backup software, utilities and user  
information.  
Register your tape drive to ensure that you benefit from the full 3-year  
warranty period.  
Use Correct Media  
For optimum performance and storage capacity, use tape cartridges that  
match your drive's format, and normally use only one cartridge per day.  
HP SureStore DAT40 drives work best with DDS-4 cartridges.  
HP SureStore DAT24 drives work best with DDS-3 cartridges.  
HP SureStore DAT8 drives work best with DDS-2 cartridges.  
HP SureStore Tape 5000 drives use on ly DDS-1 ca r t r id ges (60-m eter  
or 90-m et er ).  
However, most HP SureStore DAT drives are fully backward compatible  
(apart from the HP SureStore DAT40). The compatibility between drive  
models and cartridges is summarized in the following table. Shaded boxes

Check Drive Operation  
1 Switch on the computer. The tape drive will run its hardware self-test,  
which takes about 5 seconds. At the end of the hardware self-test, both  
front panel lights should be off. Read more about the self-test and front  
panel lights in the electronic Users Guide on the HP SureStore Tape  
CD-ROM.  
2 Verify that the tape drive installation was successful.  
For Windows and NetWare systems, select HP TapeAssure from the  
Windows Start menu. (If you did not install HP TapeAssure at the start of  
the installation process, install it now as described on page 1-8.) No other  
backup software should be running at the same time.  
For UNIX systems, the configuration instructions in the electronic User s  
Guide on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM include a verification  
procedure.  
Note If you encounter a problem during this verification procedure, turn to  
Save Yourself a Call” on page 2-2 for help in diagnosing and fixing the  
problem.  
3 Install backup software, as required (see page 1-23). Use a blank cartridge  
to carry out the backup and restore test, which you should perform to check  
that the drive can write data to tape.  
To load a cartridge:  
To unload a cartridge:  
Open the door flap, if fitted. Insert the cartridge  
into the slot in front of the drive with the label  
uppermost and apply gentle pressure until the  
drive takes the cartridge and loads it. The Tape  
light flashes green while the drive performs its  
load sequence. When the cartridge is loaded, the  
Tape light shows steady green.  
Press the Unload button on the front panel.  
The drive completes any task it is currently  
performing, winds the tape to the beginning, and  
ejects the cartridge. The sequence will take about  
25 seconds for a write-enabled cartridge and 10  
seconds for a write-protected cartridge.
