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:
1 Complete the Warranty Registration card supplied with the drive.
Mandatory questions are in black, bold text.
2 Post or fax the completed form to HP.
What Next?
If the tape drive has passed the tests run by HP TapeAssure, you can be
confident that you have installed it correctly. You are now ready to put it to
regular use backing up your system. See your backup application’s
documentation for instructions on how to back up and restore data.
Chapter 2 provides details of how to operate your drive. Make sure you read
Chapter 3 regarding the care of the drive and cartridges.
