There is no need to press the Eject button. Just power on your server and press the [F8] function key

and specific instructions please refer to our World Wide Web site at
www.hp.com/go/obdr.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the operating system. Normally, you can accept the
default response to all the prompts, for example just press <Enter>.
4. The LEDs will flash in OBDR mode (as described in step 2) while the tape drive restores your
operating system to a state where it can run a normal data restore.
5. Once the operating system has been set up and rebooted, the Tape LED display on the tape
drive changes to constant green and you can remove the backup cartridge, if you wish. You are
now ready to run a normal data restore. Follow the normal process for your restore application.
If restore fails
If the restore fails for any reason, refer to our World Wide Web site (www.hp.com/go/obdr) and
do a search on OBDR for detailed troubleshooting information.
