Completing Your Installation
To complete and test your external tape drive installation:
1 Reconnect the power cord to the computer’s power connector.
2 Use the On/Off Switch on the back of the external tape drive to turn
on the drive (see figure 20
). The Ready LED should be ON, the other
three front-panel LEDs should be
OFF.
3 Turn on the computer.
4 Install your backup software program. The documentation that came
with your software should describe this procedure.
5 Gently insert a tape cartridge into the external tape drive’s slot. Slide
the cartridge into the slot until the drive accepts the cartridge and
loads it. A brief delay occurs while the drive identifies the cartridge
type and state, and moves the tape to the data area. Then the green
Ready LED goes ON.
