Install Backup Software and Driver
Note If you are installing the drive on a UNIX system, go to the UNIX
Configuration Guide to configure your system to support the drive and to
verify the installation.
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 appropriate
README file in the DRIVERS
directory on the HP SureStore Tape CD-ROM for which drivers are
available for your specific model.
Registering Your Tape Drive
You must register with HP to ensure that you benefit from the full 3-year
warranty period. The second and third years of warranty are subject to
registration within 30 days.
You can register electronically on the internet or you can use the Warranty
Registration card that is provided with your drive.
In order to ensure your registration is complete, there are a number of
questions on the registration card and electronic form that are mandatory.
Other questions are optional. However, the more you feel able to complete,
the better HP can meet your needs. (If you wish, you may register your
drive and choose not to receive any further information from HP.)
If you have internet access, register electronically as described below.
1 Select the “Warranty Registration” topic on the HP SureStore Tape
CD-ROM.
2 Select the “Register on the Web” link. This links you to HP’s Warranty
Registration web site.
3 Complete the registration form. Optional questions are marked with an
“*” and the text is in red.
4 Click the Submit button to forward your registration immediately to HP.
If you do not have internet access:

Mandatory questions are in black, bold text.
